2FA while traveling

[Greg5564566]

I think the fact that we require our phone numbers nowadays to even log into a service, requires that we not get charged $15 a day while traveling. I just wasted 45 minutes of my life on chat with Rogers because the app closed my chat window And could not reconnect me with who I was chatting with.

Here are a few comments:

1. RLH (Roam Like Home) charges are now $14 in US and $16/day International.

2. If all you need is the occasional text for 2FA, then remove RLH before you leave and utilize pay-per use.  The pay-per-use rates are fairly high for each text, however, if you only need the occasional text, then it's a lot less expensive than RLH.

3. There are alternatives to texting - for example, many institutions will allow for e-mail or special questions for certain accounts, which cost nothing.  Some institutions only allow for texting though.

4. Here are two important links for RLH.  Please read at least the first two posts in the first link to help you minimize roaming charges:
