I wanted to add money to my Roth IRA account. It's still setup with my old bank so I tried adding my new bank. But you have to confirm with a text message or phone number which is my home number and I still don't have a phone.

Some options:

1. Transfer money to old bank and use funds from there. But I'm trying to never use my old bank until I'm certain I can close the account.
2. Buy a new phone (either an Ooma phone or a regular phone) which I need to do eventually but then again I've gone two years without a home phone so it's not that needed.
3. Sign up for Ooma premium which allows incoming calls to the Ooma app (or Call Forwarding to my cell phone) but it's $10 per month.

I went with the third option. There is a one month trial so I'll cancel in three weeks. And if I need to do something like this again spending $10 is fine. BTW Ooma app phone quality was fine though maybe not as good as a regular cell phone.

Anyways I added the new bank account then went to change my day phone to my cell phone so this doesn't happen again. But now changing contact info the confirmation is text message, phone call, or email. So I did email and quickly changed my info. There's a bit of an experience mismatch there.
