my bank used to send me an sms for every transaction, until they decided to only send an sms for transactions over $50. i found the change very irritating. i would have accepted a lower limit of say $10 or $15. and it would have been bearable if they had sent an sms every time $50 in transactions accumulated, but as it was, i could go for weeks without any notification as long as every transaction was below $50. getting this live confirmation was very useful because it also included the remaining balance.
