SMS verification would be a lot more useful if cell companies didn't insist on charging over $1 million/GB for them (well, unless you sign up for their text messaging plan).

Thankfully, Chase does email as well.

(Verizon: 20¢ ea., so 1GB / ( 160 bytes/ea) * 20¢/ea = $1,342,177.28. Though you can get a plan for 250 for a mere $134,217.73/GB.)

I hope I did the math above wrong.
