BB&T's banking app req.s mobile banking setup, which req.s a verification code sent in a text msg…but we don't text… #
…so we had texting blocked to avoid charges… But now I can't use the banking app b/c they have no other system of verification… #
What about other means of verification? Why can't they send an audio message with the code? This is not accessibility at its finest, BB&T. #
