Me? As in, I've literally changed banks and canceled cards over this.

I can't get SMS when I'm traveling which is 95% of my time. It's such an entirely ignorant US-centric view to assume that everyone has a phone, has SMS plans, has cell service at all, etc.

I think many banks might find it a benefit to exclude customers who don't have cellphones or SMS.
