About U.S. cell phone numbers that can receive SMS in Japan

Question

I am looking for an American cell phone carrier
that allows me to receive SMS in Japan.
Let's share information here.

I'll start with
1)onesimcard's US mobile number for bank verification
https://www.onesimcard.com/cell-phone-accessories/usa-2-step-bank- verification-number/
It costs about $80 per year, but there are some banks
that do not accept it. For example, us bank will reject
your phone number if you register it.

2)tello
https://tello.com/
You can keep it for at least $5 a month.
But outside of US, only wifi calling is available.
When I went back to Japan temporarily, I couldn't even receive SMS.
I tried to contact tello, but they didn't give me a clear answer.
Is it a problem with my phone model?
Did you receive SMS in Japan?

That's all from me. Please let me know your
information too.

I think most other MVNOs are the same, but H2O wireless also has no contract, so you just can't use it when the plan you purchased expires, whether you pay monthly or annually.
If you can't use it anymore, you can purchase another plan and you can use it again with the same SIM.

I hadn't seen this since it turned into a rough thread, but I'm relieved that it is a constructive exchange of ideas.
H2O wireless confirmed. It looks good that international roaming is supported.

I was in Europe last week, and as for Tello, both phone calls and SMS were
OK with wificalling. However, it did not support international roaming. I wonder if wificalling is available in Japan.
It also supports eSIM, so I can continue it even after I go back to Japan.

I thought this was a topic about using an American phone number in Japan for a long time when staying in Japan.

It has been 2 years since I returned to Japan and I am still receiving 2-step verification SMS and SMS for bank and mutual fund accounts, Paypal, etc. via Google Voice without any problems.

I cancelled my cell phone in the U.S. when I returned to Japan, but in Japan I have a contract with Rakuten Mobile using the same iPhone, and since my Google Voice number is still active, I can receive the same SMS from both my registered email and the application.
I recently opened a new bank account for fund transfer during a business trip to the US as well, and I am also receiving 2-step verification for that.
