Hi All

Looking for some advice.

Retireing in Thailand later in the year.

I have had the same UK works phone number for over 30 years, and use it for everything.

Obviously this uk sim will have to be returned.

I will then have to get a new uk sim and change my mobile phone number on all my uk accounts ect.

I realise I will have to get a Thai number when I move for Thai bank reasons.

Do I have to keep swapping between uk and Thai sims, maybe have 2 phones. Or will uk banks ect accept a Thai number ?

Just looking for a simple and cheap solution.

Thanks for your help 🙏

Hi all, should have said, I have an iPhone and would like to keep it,

Hey all, for the Canadians who moved to Thailand, what did you do with your phone number? I saw a youtube video about Google Voice as a solution to keep your existing number but it doesn't work for Canada. Would love to hear your solutions. Thanks!
