Mobile Phone Co’s and 2FA

[Pippage]

Hi all,

Having been a victim of identity and SIM swap fraud I’m looking to move to a business mobile provider which has strong account security, preferably using an authenticator app. EE seem to have nothing beyond a simple username/password combo.

What knowledge do others have of the other providers in this respect?

Thanks.

Vodafone use 2FA via text message on my account, not sure they support any other 2FA methods.

Appears no UK mobile telco uses 2fa with auth token/software, only SMS or email. o2 is missing off the below, but they use SMS for 2FA:

Great website thanks.

I’ve just found that I can have an account with ee with no app or website access so I think that’ll do the trick

No on mobile phone account app/website. Just found I can have an account with neither so solves it I think.
