I have been using TextNow for the last 2 years to be able to get text codes from my banks in the USA. I'm a US citizen who lives in Australia. I use WhatsApp for 99% of phone and texting and I have a local Australian SIM card since I live here. TextNow shut me down for using the service overseas. All I need is some kind of app-based US telephone service that allows those short text codes banks send to verify you.

I have heard of Tello. Before I sign up, can anyone confirm it works with B of A and Chase? Other bank data points?
And they won't shut you down if you are overseas?
