Coventry you can select whether you have the code sent to your mobile by text or your landline via voice read out

I had an issue with OakNorth where I wasn't getting the texts and they changed the process for the codes to be sent to my email instead. Could you ask them if this is possible?

Shawbrook require a code so avoid them 

Shawbrook allow you to set a choice of phone numbers to receive the code by voice message, in addition to (or instead of) the single mobile for SMS.

Meanwhile Saga has increased its interest rate.  And also meanwhile I have opened an account with Family BS.  Well, I have tried. To complete the opening  process, I had to paste in an 'activation code' sent by e-mail.  I have done that, but even after 24 hours, when I try to add money, I am told the account is inactive. Perhaps I will try Ford.  Or just put cash under the bed.

Microsoft's Android app 'Link to Windows' and the corresponding 'Phone Link' Windows app are very useful if you get numbers sent by text needing to entered into web pages on a PC. This allows text messages to show up on the PC (plus reply to an SMS and it shows notifications and phone photos on the PC too). On W11 they've also added a copy button if if thinks the text message contains a number - similar to what Android does.

We are threatened with having the landline in our village disconnecetd in 2025. Best not to worry about that yet. 

It will still be possible to have a landline if you want one; the means of how landlines work is changing to operate digitally using an internet connection. The existing system for landlines is being switched off at the end of 2025.
