Re: google voice as an account verification "phone"
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.

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.Viajero-Tiempo wrote:So, does that mean you keep a/some USA (or Can) phone operating here?....

Re: google voice as an account verification "phone"
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
