The BBC say by September next year an EU rule means banks will be sending a password to your phone when you make an online purchase. But no signal means increased friction for the sale, perhaps significantly (like ringing the bank on a landline for approval. Press 1 to go into an hour long queue to authenticate a thirty pound purchase type thing).

We have no usable mobile signal at home. If this happens I can see it really would reduce my online purchases if I had to call the bank each time.
Anybody else here think this would affect them?
