I wrote a proof of concept app to manage "selective quiet periods" on text messages so I wouldn't be woken at 3 am by drunken idiot booty calls but could still be paged by work. This would not be particularly different. It'd just catch the verification code by looking for incoming messages from their specific quickdial, not alert you and quietly redirect it elsewhere
I meant with Apple/Xcode. I haven't heard of it being able to receive data based on text messages. At most what an app can do is send a text to a source, which I guess could do what she's worried about in giving away the phone number, but nothing major. I think Bill to Mobile requires a bit more information than a phone number, I would hope.
