@sneak What exactly do you need a physical SIM slot for? eSIM no alternative?
@teezeh i live 40% of the year in germany and 60% of the year in the usa. i can't do banking in germany unless i can get SMS on my german number. i could technically throw my german sim into another phone but i already travel with 4 phones and i like not having to switch phones when i switch continents.
@sneak Your bank does not offer an alternative to smsTAN/mTAN?
@teezeh deutsche bank is fucking terrible, i can do some weird "phototan" system but it involves receiving post in a timely fashion in .de to activate and persist use of. SMS always works.
@sneak Then change your bank. Sparkasse is fine IMHO. I personally use DKB, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
