[QUOTE="Calvin & Hobbes, post: 1222361, member: 54928"] I had a similar issue when walking the Portugues this past September. For some reason, some businesses wanted a verification code for what I considered a rather small purchase. I had replaced my U.S. sim card with a Portuguese sim and couldn't receive the texts/verification code. My phone holds only 1 sim. It took a while for me to figure out a solution. Eventually, I contacted my U.S. service provider via an online chat. I was able to have international service activated so that I could receive text messages free of charge. But to receive the text I had to insert my U.S. sim. Then I would have to replace it with the Portuguese sim in time to enter the code. So, after I figured out the process, I was able to deal with verification codes. Just be sure to keep your sims in a secure location. A Canuck friend travelling with me had the same issue, but he lost his Canadian sim because he kept it under his phone case which had a crack in it. Resolving his problems is another story. Regarding switching to email verification for codes, not all institutions provide that service. I have a Capital One account (no currency conversion fees) and they don't. I've emailed one of their executives twice regarding this, but have not received a reply (surprise, surprise). Best wishes and Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
