Intuit Quickbook cloud on line Pay up front. After you give them your money, you can't access your account unless you give them a cell number.

So I thought I would try quickbooks online even though it's way too expensive for what you get.  I went through the registration and paid with credit card.  First time I logged in a popup appeared stating that I have to provide a cell phone number before using my now paid for service.  They didnt ask for my cell number during the registration for good reason........too many people would turn away.   So Intuit gets you on the hook and then tries to real you in with the demand for a cell number.   What can you do now that you paid.  Most would agree to fork over more of your private information.  But not me.   I would rather spread the word about what a nasty tactic Intuit uses to get your money.

Do not use quickbooks cloud unless you dont care about handing your cell number to everyone on the internet.
