AI agents blocked by VoIP rejection on SMS OTP verification
AI agents and CI/CD pipelines fail SMS phone verification because programmable VoIP numbers are rejected at carrier lookup before the code is even sent. Strict services like banking and Google require real carrier numbers, blocking automated workflows. The problem intensifies as agentic software adoption grows and agents need to authenticate with third-party services.
