Norwegian Bank, anyone?

I really wish people would realize there are many without resources or abilities for 'phones' -- especially those uses requiring expensive phones (expensive to many means even 150€)they still have these battleship look alike single use paper codes, instead getting a code by text message

in fact I mentioned that I'd like to get the codes by text message, not through smartphone apps. It's the safest way (if you only have an old 2g phone it means no viruses) and you don't have to hope that the postman doesn't deliver your paper bank codes at the wrong address, considering the way in which Posti is going, this is a real possibility...

2G SMS is by no means the safest way. Using 2G is the same as using unprotected wifi for your online banking.Y77 wrote:in fact I mentioned that I'd like to get the codes by text message, not through smartphone apps.

"expensive to many means even 150€"
Re: Norwegian Bank, anyone?
Meh. For 45 euros, you can get a new generic Android phone that works okay for everyday tasks, including receiving SMSs, making calls, and using banking apps.harryc wrote:"expensive to many means even 150€"
If 45 euros is expensive for a phone for you, then I wouldn't worry about having a bank account altogether.
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.
Re: Norwegian Bank, anyone?
How about - in addition to the 'Meh' - telling a brand name (s) and where one can possibly get them. Thanks!Meh. For 45 euros, you can get a new generic Android phone

With the Blu one, you need to make sure you have it fully updated since it used to have some dodgy software. But hey, it's cheap. You want cheap, you get cheap.

Re: Norwegian Bank, anyone?
Thanks - but what are the possibilities for a seller being a Finnish company - where some kind of feedback would be possible?
I bought a Samsung decent-enough phone thru DNA - 2 years ago - and it was 70 euro. These days they are 150€ -( and for 500 you even get fireworks! )
Nothing has happened in the world economy nor on the phone market that would be saying prices should have doubled.

The key is to keep adding whenever you can, preferably on monthly basis, and to not freak out when occasional dips happen.
Which investment bank are you using? Nordnet? Vanguard?
