About U.S. cell phone numbers that can receive SMS in Japan

I am looking for an American cell phone carrier
that allows me to receive SMS in Japan.
Let's share information here.

I'll start with
1)onesimcard's US mobile number for bank verification
https://www.onesimcard.com/cell-phone-accessories/usa-2-step-bank- verification-number/
It costs about $80 per year, but there are some banks
that do not accept it. For example, us bank will reject
your phone number if you register it.

2)tello
https://tello.com/
You can keep it for at least $5 a month.
But outside of US, only wifi calling is available.
When I went back to Japan temporarily, I couldn't even receive SMS.
I tried to contact tello, but they didn't give me a clear answer.
Is it a problem with my phone model?
Did you receive SMS in Japan?

That's all from me. Please let me know your
information too.

All major cell phone companies in the U.S. can do it.
