Hi, not visa related but I will give it a go. So need to get a new UK sim but am in Thailand atm. Current sim will apparently not work after 3 months (told by EE day before i flew here). What I thought was to ask friends in UK to send Lyca mobile sim here but just googled and must activate in UK first. Any idea's what I can do. I only need sim for accessing some bank accounts. Thanks.

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

How have people managed to get a post paid sim registered to their name? True move told me I need a work permit, which I think might be BS. Bangkok bank didn’t warn me before deleting my accounts yesterday just as I was trying to pay for something 😜

Going to be transiting in Bangkok overnight this weekend. Starting out by Robinson's Lat Krabang. Want to get an esim that night to use as we prepare to move to Thailand. Don't want the tourist kind, rather a permanent esim prepay I can put money on and renew every year or six months. Anyone do this recently. Can I just go to a 7-11 with passport and buy an esim intended for residents rather than short term tourist?

Hi all, I’m planning a trip, possibly world wide.

I have seen E sim apps available for iPhone but curious to know how these work, I am considering travel to the following countries and would also like to keep my WhatsApp number but maybe cancelling my home country contract (New Zealand).

Any suggestions before I go down the rabbit hole?

Philippines

Thailand

Vietnam

Laos

India

Mexico
