Ugh, sorry to hear about the SMS problem. One weird thing I noticed: Twitter wanted me to use an Email/SMS for two factor even though I have a registered TOTP token to log in to Twitter. I think that's been the case for awhile, not a new change, but still strange.

  Vodafone isn’t just in the UK, either. It’s the third-largest mobile network in the world.
