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,

Im relocating to Thailand using my DTV but I want to maintain my UK mobile number without the crazy costs.

Has anyone used any of these VOIP services where you can port your number to them, and via their app you can make and receive calls / sms messages.

My old mobile phone is kaput.

I need to find a cheap but up to date and reliable smartphone I can also use when back home in UK.

Any recommendations welcome.

Thank you.

I've posted about this before, but I've got some new information...

I need a new phone. I go back to USA for 3 weeks about every 2-3 months. Too much time to want to deal with two phones. As far as I know AIS will require me to use a physical SIM. Verizon is saying they only offer phones with 2 eSIMs. Sales people are sometimes derps though .. or is the world really on its way to only eSIM?

A question about telephones. We have US cellphones, but we're moving to Bangkok in November. Ditching the US phones (but we can keep the number, according to Consumer Cellular), and we will buy a new phone in Thailand. I'm worried about a few US corporations that like to 2-Factor authenticate on a US phone number, has anyone 1. used Google Voice, and 2. can it be used for 2-Factor authentication?

For people who have no trouble with their phone here and in the west... Do you have one electric Sim and one physical? Or just one physical and you swap? Or two physical?

I know this has been asked before and some of the apps can not be downloaded in Thailand. I need an app with a phone number to receive texts and calls to the United States. This has to do with my bank and SS. They do have 800 numbers. Receiving texts once a Mt is about all I need. Thanks for any help
