Hey everyone! I’ve been doing some research on this and I have more questions than answers now, so hoping for some help!
My boyfriend and I currently live in the US (we have a T-Mobile Magenta Max plan) but we’re retiring next year and planning to spend the next 5-10 years traveling abroad (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America). I might be hunting for something that doesn’t exist, but I’m looking for a single phone plan that would work on all these continents without me having to arrange for a local eSIM in every country.
I don’t know how much regular access to WiFi we’ll have so something like Airalo might be an issue given the very limited data thresholds.
Curious to hear any suggestions you might have!
I am looking to do something similar.
I think I’m going to buy a SIM from either “PureTalk” or “Fonus” or “Red Pocket” (or similar).
This way I will have a USA-based phone number that I can link to Google Voice.
This will allow me (hopefully) to do 2-factor authentification, and receive texts to the Google Voice Number even if that “PureTalk” SIM has data turned off.
I already have a SIM from a European company, because I am live in Europe mostly.
I need a working USA number in Europe, in addition to my Europe number.
So I want the Google Voice number to be my official number for the USA, piggy-backing off the PureTalk number.
