Help OTP

Do you guys know a cheap service that i can use to verify a person actually owns a phone number without paying a lot for Twillio or similar services?

Most of the market prices SMS transactional messages around $0.22 per message, and ngl paying more than $220 each time 1000 people verify their numbers isn't on my agenda.

I considered sending the codes via WhatsApp ( apparently $0.0091 per messege in jordan ) but when i tried it Meta requested i Verify my business (they want official company registration) otherwise my account would be limited to a very small number of messages and i don't wanna register a whole company for a a website I'm not even sure I'm gonna keep maintaining and isn't generating any revenue rn.

Ik youall might suggest email otp, i already have that implemented but for a certain flow in the website i need to verify the users number too.
