I guess NomadSMS (https://twitter.com/nomadsms) was exactly what you are asking for.
Sadly the guy sold it as far as I know and I just realized it seems discontinued...
/EDIT/
Just put your title into Google and it came up with some pretty interesting solutions!
So in case anyone cares, those are disposable ones - like the disposable mail services:
Well, but they claim to allow for private numbers also. Now sure about how much trust I would put in such services...the listed ones where the ones that "looked the most trustworthy". :P
Twilio can do this. Costs $1 per number per month.
Do you know if that number can also be used to verify a phone number in facebook, skype, PayPal etc etc?
FreedomPop?
I'm not really sure if that will work but I think you can see the phone numbers before you buy them so you can give it a try.
anveo.com should work well
Twilio can't, not for Facebook anyway. Last I spoke with them a couple of years ago:
I don't know much about the telecom system over there but it seems to be somewhat true.
try linespan
Did you find any support SMS's from short codes?
Are you looking to scale something up or do some one-off personal thing? I ask because it probably depends.
IIRC I didn't. I was buiding up FB profiles but ended up using a mix between UK numbers that could receive SMS messages and transcribing voice calls using pocketsphinx. My goal was purely to phone verify accounts.
I'm looking for something that works and I can keep using forever really
Do you know if they can receive SMS's from shortcodes?
Google Voice supports short codes. You do need a US number to set up an account, but you can just pay for a single month's service at another provider and use that number for activation. As soon as you get a GV number you can drop the other one.
Yeah, I used to use them too but they changed their setup and they no longer suited me. They'd be a good choice.
