Spidermike,
it sounds like Fanytel is something that may work for me. I need a US phone number at times to receive a verification code for purchases with my US credit card. I also receive a SMS when I log in to my Us Social Security account. At times I need to call my financial adviser or I need to pay bills via a phone call to the US. In all cases I need a consistent US phone number. Will Fanytel work?
