I am a non-techie, and I can't fix this myself. I use Amazon pharmacy for getting my prescriptions and they are using short texts to verify my phone number, which, of course, isn't working. Are there companies that do VOIP or some other protocol that would let me have a US number that DOES register for short texts?

    Can't you just disable Two Step Verification ? https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G3PWZPU52FKN7PW4 – Hilmar Apr 30 '22 at 19:02

  • I am in Panama with a VOIP number for the US. Amazon Pharmacy requires a US number to be able to contact me with. They cannot use my Panama number and... the VOIP I have doesn't wotk with short code texts. – Celeste Mendelsohn May 02 '22 at 15:54
  • I am trying to Change my listed number with Amazon to the US VOIP instead of my Panama number. I can't disable 2 step verification for this. They require confirmation with a short code. – Celeste Mendelsohn May 02 '22 at 15:55
  • Isn't there an option to get a call instead of the short text?
  • Does Amazon really ship prescriptions outside the US?

  • No there is no option for sending to email or call for Rx. And no, they do not ship to Panama. I have a forwarder. – Celeste Mendelsohn May 03 '22 at 21:35
