I recently moved to India from the US and have an active Bank of America account in the US. I was able to update my new Indian address as my mailing address in my contact information but I am not able to update the phone number with an Indian number.

I want to stop my US phone number service and hence want to use my Indian number as my contact number. Is there any way to do it?

  • Might be worth contacting them and seeing what they say. They may not have even considered that the site won't accept international numbers.

    yeah will talk to them, it should be allowed since they accept international mailing address.

  • What the solution? Were you allowed to keep account without phone number or had to close the account?

  • How did you change the bank and transfer the money while being outside US ? Customer care is having wait time for more than 15-20 min.s and it has become highly impossible to connect to them.

I just tried it myself and it doesn't look like you can. I guess BOA doesn't want to possibly incur the cost of international text messages. Or, perhaps more likely, they simply haven't done the IT work needed to account for non-US phone numbers yet.

I have talked to B of A about entering a foreign number for my US account. They will not allow it so I move my money to another bank.
