Did you consider just biting the bullet and investing 20€ into a cheap
pre-paid cellphone ? (I just had to get one for my mother and got her a
Nokia 105 and Vodafone CallYa card on Amazon for 19,48€ total ...)

It's not like you need to use it for more than receiving these SMS
after all and for banking stuff like paypal it actually makes a lot of
sense to have two factor auth ...
