I'm inquiring any update on phone authentication specifically on allowing mutliple OTP providers. Accepted ones are currently expensive. In my country we have otp providers with 1/10th the price of the suggested ones

TL;DR
The user is inquiring about adding support for another SMS provider in Appwrite's phone authentication system. They mention that currently, there are five supported providers for self-hosted use, but they are expensive. The user suggests adding a feature in the console to toggle between SMS providers. They express the need for cheaper OTP providers in their country. There is no solution provided in the thread.

I think, similar to the ability of editing SMTP settings, something that allows toggling between the SMS Providers would be nice in the console!

Exactly, we are limited to only 3 providers who are expensive

In my country most users prefer phone auth than email.

Is this for Cloud or self hosted?

My suggestion should apply to both.

Well, my understanding is that in Cloud, Appwrite will be providing SMS - the user won't be getting their own accounts with the providers

So it would be a bit of a moot point

But self hosted currently supports five SMS providers

@Steven Am I correct in thinking that adding support for another SMS provider would require:

Or is there something else needed, too?

Self hosted
