I have a problem with banks etc. insisting on sending SMS verification 
codes on login (because it is secure, hah!), but with a Koodo SIM card 
that doesn't work anywhere other than Canada I'd be stuck while 
travelling, which I do a lot. So, I give them a voip.ms number, they 
send the SMS, and voip.ms sends me an e-mail, which I can easily receive 
anywhere in the world, almost instantly, even on hotel wifi. I've been 
doing this for years, and never had a problem (touch wood).

There are also ways to send an SMS, such as a web interface (iirc), 
Zoiper, etc., which I've used in a pinch.
