Yes. Depends on the plan. I only play $60 a year instead of $60 a month, but that comes with limited minutes and texts. I can get more, but that costs so I stay in my budget if at all possible. Which isn't a problem for me until you have companies texting you for everything. I also don't tend to give out my mobile number very much, I gave it to a bank (for second factor that they FORCED) and right after I started getting spam calls. Considering I didn't give it out to anyone else in a long time, I KNOW how it happened. Hence my lack of trust and why I will not give out my number for second factor any more. If they force it, they lose a customer.

That has been mentioned here. It all depends on if you gave Amazon your phone number or not (for second factor most likely). If you did, it will come that way instead of email.

I wondered about that (and exactly what the combination would be), but several here didn't seem to have to do it. Perhaps some Touches are a little more 'touchy' than others. I will give it a try. Thanks.
