Credit Cards who don't send a text message confirmation for online purchases.

MoneySavingNovice

Hi,

Does anyone know of a Credit Card which from September won't send a text message to verify online purchases, or have another alternative to verify purchases available?

I live in a 'not-spot', i.e. I don't have a mobile signal, hence a won't receive a text message.

Recognising that Cards will need to abide with the 2 stay authentication rules which are coming in Visa have stated ".....alternatives include use of partial password entry, knowledge based questions or physical tokens..."


Problem is I can't find a card which actually offers these other options.


Thanks in advance for your help

Possibly Nationwide who say you can use the card reader thingy for logon etc so they may allow it for CC verification you could check

Nationwide sends text messages and I didn't see option while paying to change it. Maybe it's in the account settings.

I've been maintaining a thread on the banking board summarising what each institution is planning - quite a few offer landline contact rather than mandating mobiles specifically:

Also worth noting that the implementation deadline for online shopping has now been delayed to March 2021....

Do you have WiFi and a smart phone that supports wifi calling?

You can receive SMS messages over this instead.

Or buy a signal booster?

If you have a wifi router at home this this is easily solved by using wifi calling on a compatible network & handset.

Per my post 4 hours above yours...

SMS messages can also be delivered to landline telephone numbers. A BT service just rings you and reads out the message.

Some cordless phones can also send and receive text messages via a BT landline, without having to listen to the synthesised voice.

Some forms don’t allow a mobile phone number not stating with “07...”

Can you not use forwarding to the landline
