How Can I Keep My U.S. Cellphone Number When Moving to Thailand Without High Fees?

John *********

I have AT&T. Was very important for me to have my exact same number for all of my USA contacts even though I live in Thailand. Basically, I pay $120 a month extra. I know that’s a lot, but I still can get all of my bank notices in my two factor authentication messages. It’s worth it to me.

I live in Phuket and I am on my first 90 days of non-o immigrant visa. I get the permanent one year retirement visa in a couple weeks. I asked the head of the local Bangkok bank and he said I have no problem to worry about.

Is it better to have both bank accounts for visa extension and daily expenses at the same bank or at different banks in Thailand?

John *********

Same as

. I have my one account with 800,000 and that I just don’t touch. It’s a fixed account that it gets a little bit more interest.

My savings passbook account is where I transfer my pension into every month so eventually, I can get the 800,000 back .
