Never owned one and have always planned not to.

Unfortunately PayPal, Google, TPG (my provider) et al are pushing me to get one for SMS verification. I cannot currently sign in even to my provider without one. Google will also remove my account if I don't do it soon.

What a Helluva waste, having to buy a 'phone for one reason only - to SMS-verify my identity, even to my provider who I've been with and paying monthly for 19 years.

Ridiculous.

Well you can get sms even on an old Nokia 5110 or something... so you don't need a "smartphone" as such.

I'm surprised you have that over there. I thought there was thread on US life expectancy a few days ago and you guys only make it to about your age these days.

It's true, there are a lot of fat, unhealthy people here even compared to 25 or 30 years ago. Most women are fat with tattoos all over and poison dart frog colored hair that says "warning, danger" to the person viewing it.

Hmm... would this cover all the verification I'll be asked to do bro'?

I mean, I only assumed it was SMS but have never had a smart 'phone so I've no idea. WOuldn't know how to dial a number, let alone send an SMS on one of these newfangled doobiwackies.

IOW, is there anything else they use besides SMS?

Well I thought you could choose between an email address and an SMS but you can get an SMS even on non-smart mobile phones.

That's the thing - a few of them aren't offering an email.

I'll look into the "regular" mobile-'phone thingy. Thanks bro'.

I imagine they'd be nice and cheap and also try Amaysim... it's very cheap... My plan is like $12p/m for unlimited calls and 6gb of data and unused data accumulates - so I have so much data I never use it. On a non smart phone data won't even be an issue.
 
Smart phone required ( and provided by) work. Has to be on while I'm on the clock.

Personal smart phone for porn and fucking with telemarketers. Usually not too far away, but certainly not tethered to it.
