Yes, just to emphasise, the phone number thing is completely unviable
for me as well.  They want to send you a code every time you log on.
It's founded on the assumption you have a single number that can reach
everywhere, which obviously doesn't work when you're travelling.

I thought they had something which used the google authenticator app?
Which can generate the codes without needing an active cell connnection.
