Implement Account Kit to verify phone number

Hi, I just see that Account Kit has the possibility to send verification code via WhatsApp and also SMS. This can be a good alternative to Twillio.

Can you investigate about this possibility ?

Regards

Thanks for the request @colundrum - are you looking at Account Kit for login or just as a way to ensure the phone number provided is correct as an alternative to Twilio?

Hello, I'm thinking about alternative to Twilio but effectively, you permit signup via Google, Facebook, Twitter so why not via Account Kit. After, it was just a suggestion and to know if you can see about integration. I let you implement as you prefer but effectively, in LATAM (Latin America & Mexico), WhatsApp is more used than SMS (sometimes, an SMS arrives after 1 to 10 minutes … tested by a friend in LATAM), just impossible when WhatsApp is instantly.
