Fongo (Canadian), Line2(Us & Canadian), Fishtext (UK). Some Homg kong prepaids have SMS forwarding capability. Also, you can leave a prepaid SIM from your home country in a prepaid SIM back home in a cheap Android phone and use a million different Android apps to forward it

Good idea, but don't forget:

1. Make sure you leave it plugged in to the charger.
2 You will need to give someone access to it if the number changes while you are away.

Another solution is to call the bank and after they ask you some questions can give you access to your account and probably change the SMS number. I am sure this happens all the time.

Imagine, there are banks that can't handle foreign SMS numbers.

Could you give me links to these? Could not find Fongo. Fishtext have a nice site but can't find what I am looking for: they give me a virtual number which can receive texts for example on a computer too? That would be the best solution.

I would prefer to skip this if possible. Way too complicated solution for stupid banks.

http://www.fongo.com/ or http://www.fongo.ca/

Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ongo.dellvoice
IIRC (because it's been a couple of years since I did it):
1. This app can only be downloaded from a Canadian IP so either fake it or find someone to send you the APK.
2. You'll need a Canadian phone number in order to validate your account.


Phones: OnePlus 5 • Nexus 5
SIMs: CA Fido/Fongo • AT A1-B.free • Google Fi
R.I.P.: UM • UM+
