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?

Hello everybody 🙌 has somebody a good advice for a Sim / eSim for Thailand? (And 2 question - is there any that works for Thailand, cambodia and vietnam?) Greets, thanks and have an wonderful day 😊

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?

Hello I am in processing of moving back to bkk . If anyone know the google voice is good option for free international call back to USA ? Or Skype ? I need to remain US phone base in order to contact US bank . I will also don’t want to cancel US phone service yet.

Has anyone had any experience with Google Voice. I could never get it to work and I need it. I used AIS for service

Everything else... I have two phones one I came with that wouldn't take a Thai sim card, the other I got here and have a Thai number. My American phone is the only one I can use to call America, bank, credit cards, doctors but I'm paying Consumer Cellular every month. Is there a way to keep my American number without paying $45 a month? Hopefully only have one phone? Thank you

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

Can someone let me know the easiest way to call the US? I need to get in touch with my bank and I think it’s a toll free number, but my phone won’t let me dial internationally

Moving there in mid December, for good. Currently live in Vegas with a verizon iPhone and Verizon service. Do i just cancel the verizon and get a new sim card, or what is recommended for cell service?
