Mary, nobody can do much with a chequing account number and you have to realize that North America is really in the dark ages when it comes to financial transactions. I am 56 and even when I was a child I remember that my parents paid by transferring money to whomever they had to pay and in Germany it is totally normal for somebody who has to pay his friend back 50 Euros to get their bank information and to send it electronically. Fortunately on the business level this is slowly changing here in Canada and where I used to have to send cheques to suppliers in the mail, I now log onto my payment platform which I have access to as an Royal Bank of Canada business customer and I set up my supplier by entering their 3-digit bank code, their 5-digit transit number and their account number. Once that is done once I just typ part of their name into the search box, select from which of my connected accounts I want to pay and how much, I can include a memo such as an account and/or invoice number and a few clicks later it's all done and 2-3 days later my supplier get the money deposited to their account along with an email that I sent them a payment for whichever amount along with my memo. The entire transaction costs me one Dollar which is the same as when I write a cheque except I don't have to spend whatever postage, buy envelopes, take the darn cheque to the mail and then hope it doesn't get lost.

Last week sometime I saw an article in one of the tech publications talking about how T-Mobile was going to do this. Given the number of security issues that they have had, I personally do not intend to give them my bank account number. It’s almost enough to make me switch carriers. But I’ll keep it. It’s going to be a pain paying each month instead of having it automatically dealt with. But there’s no way I’m giving them my checking account number. If somebody gets in there, you have no guarantees at all. If something happens on a credit card You’re covered. And if you have an Apple Card, they don’t get any information that’s useful anyway. I don’t care about the five dollar discount. I care more about the inconvenience of having to get online to pay it every month. Plus it’s bad faith. T-Mobile has just had too many security issues.

Has anyone else received a similar text message? Of course there was a link which I ignored and I will go to my account and check in the next few days. I was just wondering if anyone else got that message. Vicki -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
