I'm kind of surprised there isn't more of this, people building their own 2 fact or authentication services. I'd kind of assumed the obstacle being negotiating SMPP telco access, leaving it to Google & Microsoft and a few others who have the market clout to actually get access.
It's super drole that for whatever billions have been invested globally in internet security products, having a CLID tied to a physical line offers a level of security that's both physical and out of band, that's unattainable with SHA/PKI/DH etc up to your eye balls. The advantage of CLID over SMS being you can make the process hands free and accessible through a serial port. Offer an accessible way to authenticate against a CLID, and the business model looks increasingly less crazy and more something useful to do with your time.
