Ya I bounced around a few country’s in Asia and did a eSIM for like $45 unlimited. Just so I didn’t have to deal with it I paid it..

But yea sounds like the
****
route is the way to go… think someone mentioned you can get a year for $89? If that’s unlimited that’s a steal.

help me out here if I went the VOIP route would I need an unlocked phone?

Would I still need to get mobile data from Thailand eSIM?

@Kevon *******
sweet. I heard the Google voice app kinda sucks?

What eSIM you like in Thailand?

Anonymous participant 166 I guess I mostly like the Google voice idea so I can get those passcode texts…

Other than that I don’t really need to use my old number for calls?

ThaiBot then just keep paying $50/mo to not use it? I guess? I don’t like this plan?

ThaiBot ya my phones not unlocked… so id have to buy an unlocked phone anyways.

Anonymous participant 915 wait… so if I moved my number to open phone… I just need an unlocked phone and I should get WiFi calls/text on the open phone app? Or something?

Then just get a new sim in Thailand for data?

Did I get that right?
