This is a bit off topic, but I don't own a cellphone and the verify via SMS trend is starting to worry me. It would be better if it had an option where it called and used text to speech for the autogenerated pin, but I probably would not give my phone number to the vast majority of sites anyway.
- niftylettuce 13y agoyou can do this. just click "Call me" instead of "Text me" on the demo on "How it works"

- Lexarius 13y agoYou might want to look into getting a prepaid phone of some kind, even if it's not a smart phone. Having a portable emergency communication device seems like a good idea even if you're opposed (for whatever reason) to cellphone use in general, and a prepaid phone won't give you monthly bills or contracts to worry about. If that's no good, then how about Google Voice? In addition to its other useful phone-related features, it allows sending and receiving of text messages.
- mzs 13y agoMy wife and I used to have tracfones. I just went and pulled mine out of the box here. It only says motorola on it, no model number or anything other than that. I really liked that phone, it was simple, great battery life, and got reception where others did not. What I did not like is that I paid more than $200 for them and about a year later tracphone said they would no longer work on the phone networks here. What a colossal waste of money that was. I'll keep spending my money on tools in case of emergencies. My wife does have an iphone with a contract now though. Maybe I should do the google voice thing though, good suggestion, thanks.
