[QUOTE="Stephan the Painter, post: 1205826, member: 83410"] I am assuming you are US-based? I got around this problem by getting a "Google Voice" number, which is only available to US residents. It's a virtual phone number that works on data but has an area code, etc. like any other number and you can get texts through the app. It also sends me emails of texts and transcriptions of calls, which is nice if I have lost my phone! People back home can just direct dial me and the call seems just a regular call to them even when I am overseas. My bank accepts it for two-factor authentication, but one of my credit cards doesn't. They probably know that it's a virtual number. The other budget answer is to get a T-Mobile phone number that works overseas. No bank or credit card I have will let me use email for authentication. That would be perfect! Link: [URL unfurl="true"]https://voice.google.com/about[/URL] P.S. If you or anyone else get a Google Voice number in the US, and then get a Spanish SIM card when you're in Spain, make sure you update the app to tell Google Voice that it should direct calls and texts to the new overseas number. I forgot to do this once, and was wondering why I wasn't getting anything… [/QUOTE]
