That would be nice, but they asked for my cell number long ago and
insist on using it now -- with no other option. Moreover, they say I
only have to do it once, but they lie -- every damn time I contact them
they have to send me a text code. I`ve had the same land-line number
for 60 years and the same email address since google started offering
gmail. I`ve had it up to HERE with Security Theater.
Granted, these people give me free money once a month, but STILL!
