I just got my DTV approved (woo hoo)

Looking into cell phone tricks..

Thinking about parking my USA number to Google voice $10mo?

Then just getting a new sim out in Thailand?

I’ll be out there for over 1 year.

What’s the trick to save your number and not pay a lot monthly?

(I also don’t have an unlocked phone so my alternative is buying an unlocked phone and dial sim I think? But paying AT&T international plan is pricy.)

I've had my cellphone number for over 30 years and I would like to keep it once I move to Thailand. Can anyone tell me how I can maintain this number, without incurring ridiculous charges from my phone company here in the U.S.? Thanks in advance

Good morning all.... I'm from the USA and headed over at the beginning of February and going to be there "permanently". I need some advice on cell phones. My phone has dual SIM cards, so I understand that for local Thailand number I just have to get a SIM card there... My question is for USA line.... My understanding is some of the time I will need this two step verification... I am assuming I can do this on the same phone since it has the two SIM cards?... Also what cell service are those of you from the USA using for this process?.... I really am not interested in having a "typical" cost plan from the United States in addition to my Thai plan....any suggestions?

Keeping US Number -

Hey folks, coming over for good in October - I need a US number for ONE reason only - 2 factor authorization!! Literally every day, for banking, Paypal, government, practically anything I log onto here, they send a text to my US number so I can log in. Of course I will have a VPN when I arrive, but how do I keep a US number [JUST to receive texts, won't be making or receiving calls with it!!]. I will keep my phone from here, and buy one there with a Thai number - how can I go about making/keeping this one as my "US phone''? Thank you

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?
