I have been using  Google voice in Mexico for 14 years with no confirmation issues. I have 3 USA banks and 4 credit cards that sometimes require confirmation by voice or text. I have GV enabled on 2 cell phones, a Ipad, a PC and chromebook

There are only a very few accounts I have ever needed to verify, and they just send a verification number via SMS that I copy into the field.

So, does that mean you keep a/some USA (or Can) phone operating here?....
Or, do have some very accomodating banks/cards that will send to MEX cellular

(Which In my experience is not at all likely.

My bank sends the account verification request to the App on my phone so having a phone number at all is unnecessary.

I'm Canadian and both work for me in Mexico and all other countries that I have visited.

You do need to have access to the internet.  

Both have apps that you can use on your cell Mexican cell phone or online.

No, I only have a Mexican phone. I don't use my Canadian debit card in Mexico for anything but pulling $ out at an ATM and don't use my Canadian credit card at all in Mexico.
I have a Mexiccan bank account and debit card.

guess none of you all are blessed with account at Capital one

They wont allow numbers from VOIP suppliers except a few - i think text now is ok and i think google voice....

They are "protecting me"

Some are OK with email - I certainly am.....

PITA
