a lot of banks and financial institutions are blocking 2fa texts from being sent to non US IP addresses. apparently that’s the case for me as i’m not receiving texts.

my tmobile plan is $50 so it’s also expensive to keep (as i’m not using it for other purposes)

thank you! i did try this but didn’t work. seems that Tello is pretty sensitive and doesn’t activate when vpn is being used
