Question about Dial-in Authenticator

#0 - Nov. 18, 2010, 5:53 a.m.

Hey everyone,

I have a question about the Dial-in Authenticator and I am thinking about purchasing one, but I'd like to know what it is actually like first.

When the message comes out saying that you have to ring a toll free number, is this number toll-free for mobile phones as well as landline phones? Because if I am going away I'm only going to be using a mobile phone. Or will it cost a lot if I use a mobile phone.

Also, will this authenticator be good if I travel a lot?

Thanks! :-)

You are actually probably going to want the mobile authenticator if your phone supports it, Frostpells.

The new dial-in doesn't work the same way. While most certainly better than no authenticator, you don't call in everytime - just if your account gets locked up.
