Centralize SMS verification for your IT and security teams
JoltSMS gives IT and security teams a dedicated, non-VoIP, real-SIM US number plus a shared inbox, notifications, and Team Access. Stop relying on personal phones for critical systems and make verification part of your security posture.
- Centralize SMS verification for high-value accounts
- Use real-SIM, non-VoIP US numbers instead of VoIP apps
- Keep an audit-friendly history of all verification SMS
- Control access with Owner/Manager/Viewer roles
A shared inbox for verification codes across your critical systems.
Personal phones and VoIP numbers don't scale for security
When critical systems rely on one engineer's or admin's phone number—or on a cheap VoIP line—you end up with brittle account recovery, poor visibility, and audit gaps.
| Problem | What it looks like for IT/security |
|---|---|
| Personal phone lock-in | Root/admin, IdP, SSO, or VPN logins tied to one employee's device. |
| VoIP / burner failures | Verification SMS never arrive or get rejected on VoIP ranges. |
| Poor audit trail | Codes live in chats, screenshots, or someone's memory—not in a system of record. |
| On-call friction | On-call staff can't access codes because they're on someone else's phone. |
| Offboarding risk | When staff leave, you scramble to change numbers across dozens of systems. |
Turn SMS verification into an auditable, shared system
JoltSMS centralizes SMS verification around dedicated non-VoIP numbers, a shared inbox, and role-based access so you can treat phone-based verification like any other shared infrastructure.
- Real-SIM, non-VoIP US numbers more likely to be accepted for verification
- Shared inbox for visibility across IT, security, and on-call staff
- Long-term rentals so you can keep the same number through re-verification cycles
- Notifications to Slack/Discord/Email/Webhooks so no one waits on a screenshot
- Team Access with Owner/Manager/Viewer roles for least-privilege sharing
Label numbers by system—IdP, cloud, VPN, banking—and track renewals at a glance.
Common IT & security scenarios JoltSMS supports
Shared access to identity and SSO providers
Phone numbers used for SSO, IdP, or admin logins. Multiple admins need to see verification codes without relying on one device.
Cloud, VPN, and infrastructure accounts
High-privilege AWS/GCP/infra accounts that sometimes require SMS. On-call engineers need to see codes quickly during incidents.
Finance, HR, and back-office systems
Sensitive systems that mix IT, finance, and HR access. Security checks and login verifications should be company-owned, not personal.
Example: one "security verification" number for high-value systems
Provision a dedicated JoltSMS number for security-critical systems
Rent a non-VoIP, real-SIM US number and label it "Security Verification" or similar.
Document where it's used
In your internal runbooks, list which systems should use this number (e.g., IdP admin, key cloud accounts, VPN).
Update phone numbers in those systems
Replace ad-hoc personal or VoIP numbers with the JoltSMS number where policy allows.
Route codes to the right people
Configure Slack/Discord/Email/Webhooks so on-call engineers and security staff see new messages immediately.
Use the inbox as your system of record
During incidents or audits, review the inbox history to see what codes were sent and when.
Expand with more numbers as needed
Add dedicated numbers (e.g., "AWS Prod", "Finance Systems") as your environment grows.
Keep an audit-friendly history of verification messages
Instead of verification codes disappearing into phones and screenshots, JoltSMS keeps them in a shared inbox with searchable history—so you can answer "who got what, and when?" more easily.
- Central log of all SMS received per number
- Timestamps and message content available for review
- Search across messages by sender, text, or number
- Use Webhooks to mirror data into your own SIEM/logging pipeline
Share access without giving everyone full control
JoltSMS Team Access is built for least privilege. The same number can be visible to multiple teams, while only a few people can manage billing or cancellation.
Owner
- • Full control including billing and number cancellation
- • Manages who has access to each number
Manager
- • Views messages and history
- • Configures notification endpoints and rules
- • Cannot change billing or cancel numbers
Viewer
- • Read-only access to messages and history
- • Ideal for auditors, compliance, and certain stakeholders
Note: Each number supports up to 10 team members, and invitations expire after 7 days if not accepted.
Connect verification events to Slack, Email, and your own systems
IT and security teams need verification events where they already work. JoltSMS notifications help you get there without bolting on new tools.
- Route messages to dedicated Slack or Discord channels for on-call teams
- Use Email for security mailing lists and managers
- Use Webhooks to forward events into your own apps, logs, or alerting pipeline
- Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a secret you provide
Where JoltSMS fits (and doesn't) in your security stack
JoltSMS is one piece of your overall security posture. It centralizes SMS-based verification where you still rely on it, but it's not a replacement for strong authentication and identity practices.
JoltSMS is helpful when you:
- Still have providers that require SMS verification
- Want shared access to verification codes across IT and security
- Need a more auditable, company-owned solution than personal phones
- Want to route verification events into Slack, Email, or your own systems
JoltSMS is not a replacement for:
- Hardware security keys or modern MFA for critical systems
- Your IdP, SSO, or identity provider
- A full SIEM or log management solution
FAQ for IT & security teams
No. JoltSMS provides dedicated phone numbers and tooling for SMS-based verification, but it does not replace MFA, IdPs, or SSO solutions. It's designed to make SMS-based verification less brittle and more auditable where you still need it.
Give your IT and security teams a proper system for SMS verification
Stop relying on personal phones and fragile VoIP numbers. Use dedicated non-VoIP, real-SIM US numbers with a shared inbox, notifications, and clear roles.
