In other words, getting the two factor authentication text forwarded to Google voice and then either to an email or an overseas sim ? I have both an old Google Voice number from an old mobile and a Capital One account as well, but there seems to be no way to test if it’ll actually work until I’m overseas….? There seems to be some question when I read about this elsewhere that it may not work with virtual VoIP numbers, like Google voice. Something from the banks end. | |

| Sep 29, 2021 at 3:50 | comment | added | RadRunner | Did you ever figure out a more elegant solution? I have the exact same issue. I travel a lot, usually abroad about 6-7 months/year. Card works fine inside the US, but anytime I try to do an internet based transaction while outside US (buying a plane ticket, hotel reservation, car, tour, anything...), it triggers the 2 factor authentication. Still no option for email or international number authentication. I had a long frustrating conversation with a call center rep and her supervisor to no avail... only option is to live with it or cancel the card. Pure stupidity in today's day and age. I even | |

| Mar 20, 2020 at 7:06 | comment | added | LostInTranslation | @phoog I'd also need to instruct the bank what to do with the money. I suspect they are going to need something more than a signed letter to transfer it to another bank account. | |
| Mar 20, 2020 at 6:38 | comment | added | phoog | Well in the old days you could close an account by sending a signed letter in the mail. I don't suppose that had changed. | |
| Mar 20, 2020 at 6:28 | comment | added | LostInTranslation | @phoog Thank you for your comment. That's certainly an option, and one I'm looking into. But it's not clear if I can transfer my funds to another bank without having access to my Capital One account in the first place. | |
