At Nexmo we've been powering similar solutions for a lot of apps through our SMS API. However, we've just released a higher-level API that leverages our SMS / Voice APIs to make this kind of number verification easy to implement. Ours includes multiple deliveries and channels (falls back to a voice call if needed). We're looking for early adopters, would love to have you take a look: https://docs.nexmo.com/index.php/verify
