All my 2FA authentications were linked to this SIM card, including all my internet banking services and other payment systems. Fortunately, I had some money set aside for emergencies. I also utilized this mobile number for various online services and relied on it as my primary method of communication.
- stephen_g 3y agoIt’s inconvenient, but surely you’re able to pretty easily get the number ported to a new eSIM…? You should still have the account and basically should just need to find some WiFi to download it on a different device? I travel a fair bit, all this makes me think how hard this would be if I was in, say, Europe and my phone was stolen - to get a new physical SIM I’d need to visit a physical store in Australia! Perhaps I could have a family member visit and send it to me in the mail, but in just a slightly different situation the physical SIM is potentially a lot more problematic!
