I'm using a US Skype number and I've never had any problems receiving codes. The Skype app is really slow and buggy though and needs a big update.

Some VoIP services (anveo is one I use for this) offer geographic or mobile (cellular) numbers which can receive SMS. Many of these services offer an SMS to email gateway as well, which makes retrieving the one time passwords as convenient as having them sent directly to your phone.

One of the frustrating issues is that the M2M SMS gateways some banks use don’t seem to work with numbers that started life registered with a VoIP provider (messages are never delivered or severely delayed). I’ve had much better luck with porting numbers that were originally registered by a cellular carrier to a VoIP provider. YMMV
