    The link provided is from their website, wherein they state they cannot be relied upon to support all verification short codes. The list they provide does not include one single business I need to sign in with. It is good it works for your purposes.

    to be fair, they state that it is a *partial* list. ymmv.

    So far I have received short code sms' from the following:

    American Express

    Avis

    Amazon

    American Airlines

    Apple

    Hyatt

    Square

    Chase

    United Air

    Mercado Libre

    Venmo

    The question is...  Have you been using this service to receive texts from a bank or financial institution that has previously rejected a VOIP number?

    looks unreliable   https://www.tossabledigits.com/support.php?p=shortcodes

    I started using TossableDigits primarily *because* of having multiple institutions that did not work w/ my US number at Google Voice. But they work just fine w/ TD.

    As far as reliability goes, it has been extremely reliable! Yes, on my current basic plan I get six free shortcode messages per month. After that they charge me a whopping $0.02 per message. I guess I never noticed because so far my highest monthly bill was $4.01. Of that, maybe 16 pennies was for short codes. This month I might hit 30 pennies.

    The "search" function had no information, so would it hurt you to have provided Patrick an answer?

    OK, yours may be the second oddest...

    Why are you mentioning search? Are you suggesting that *I* search, or Patrick?

    My comment was pointing out that Patrick's post contained nothing but a link back to his own post. That's what was odd. Nothing to do with Bryan James, whom I know very little about. Seems like a nice guy and all, but I have no information for Patrick...

  4. Did a round-trip to DFW and back a couple of weeks ago. Checked in online, and no bags to check, so just needed form from INM office. The person wasn't very verbose with instructions (as in, none) but we eventually figured out we needed to fill them out and give them back to her. I asked about filling in details. It wasn't a stupid question because the form, as printed, is designed for people traveling from somewhere else *TO* Mexico, not the other way around. We filled in names, passport numbers, etc., but as for the rest the lady indicated it wasn't necessary. No flight info, etc.  She quickly scribbled "R Temporale" and "R Permanente" on the top of the form (in permanent marker) and then stamped the hell out of everything and we were on our way. 

    The people who collect half of the form are the airline personnel at the gate.

    On our return INM collected the other half, which we had filled out w/ flight info, our address, etc., stamped our passports and we collected our one checked bag (we never leave with one, but always return with one for some reason) and we played red light/green light (the much safer version) and just like that we were at the taxi stand. Bienvenido!

    One note of interest - when we were leaving DFW Airport for some reason there was evidently a flight bringing in several older Mexican couples. They had matching shirts, and as each one came out of the baggage area in wheelchairs a whole group of about 50 people applauded and took pictures and videos. People were crying and laughing and hugging. It was very nice to see.

    The new nursery was located on Federal Land with permission.  Nothing to do with the firetruck itself.  

    Funny, I walked by today. Looks like they moved the truck to redo the front gravel parking area. Lots of remodeling going on…

    Wow, its almost unbelievable that they would put soo much effort into building that nursery illegally, so I guess the whole place will be gone. What a shame and waste of time and money building that place. It was previously a yard for selling dirt and gravel for many years, I wonder if they were kicked out too

    Well, if it was illegal, considering how long they were there they must have saved a *ton* of money on land lease and/or purchase. Like the old saying goes, it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission.
