I once worked in a building with terrible cell reception. I hated anything that required SMS for 2FA because I'd have to go outside to get the text message.

My in-laws lived in an area with poor cell reception too. Whenever I'd go there, I couldn't use SMS either.

Both of those places had good Internet service. Any time SMS was required, my UX was terrible. Hooray for anyone who supported TOTP, email, or any other form of 2FA.
