Quick answer: Type a registered email instead of a phone number and the code arrives by email — same expiry, same limits, same account. Diaspora members sign in from anywhere without roaming charges or delivery lotteries.
How it works
One identifier field serves both paths; anything with an @ routes to email.
Admins just ensure the email is on the record — no special international setup.
Alumni bodies with global chapters made this the most-requested path; it ships in core.
