I'm based in US and primarily use a Tmobile prepaid plan, $30 for 5 GB data, 100 voice, unlimited text. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/other-prepaid-plans

Short codes do indeed work. I integrate with Google Voice just fine without using the Call Forwarding. https://simonics.com/ will gate your favorite SIP client through GV, or you can bridge dial through various SIP carriers (Callcentric, Localphone, voip.ms, others).

More and more sms services work with GV now. I use my Tmobile native number with the very few sms services that don't work with GV.

Besides, this wiki focuses on data and not voice or sms, so short codes and GV integration should be less a concern.
