Do I need to live in British Columbia to get a number there?

No. A DialAnyone British Columbia number is virtual — it lives in your account rather than on a SIM, so you can hold and use it from any country. There is no residency requirement and no address to prove; the Canadian carrier asks for no documents. DialAnyone verifies your identity once, online.

Can a British Columbia number receive SMS verification codes?

Yes. Canadian numbers support SMS, and because the number is private to you rather than shared on a public receive-SMS site, codes from banks, marketplaces and apps generally arrive. Some services block all internet-based numbers, so delivery is not guaranteed for every sender.
