For commerce I use an SMS to email gateway and automatically file those emails into a separate mailbox.
It started attracting spam after about a year. I found that I never need to be alerted about anything via SMS though.
The only time I use it is when I know I should have just received a message, which is at the top of the inbox above all this week’s spam.
I’m quite aware that I’m side stepping a lot of two factor policies by doing this. (My phone mail client can read all my email accounts.) One has to be careful not to do anything silly and I’m glad GitHub steered away from SMS 2FAC.
