There's ways around that, if you're really desperate. You can get paid VOIP numbers that will accept text, for example. Using an Android emulator is already a hackerway inaccessible to most people, though.
Indeed, and it’s useful to be aware of that.. things like pinger numbers. But I certainly would not cut the bank any slack for their oppressive mandate that excludes people without a mobile phone.
