I would get rid of my US number completely, however, i have so many different accounts with 2FA. I hear google phone works, but if youre not in the US at least once a year they can deactivate your account.

My plan is to keep my number for 2FA purposes, and get a local sim for everything else. Right now we are paying for international package and its killing us.

    I just had to work through this and I went with a new plan where I am and transferred my EEUU/US number to google voice.

    99% of your communication internationally will be in whatsapp probably.

    Google voice works like an app that routes your US number to your phone (if it’s deployed in whatever destination country) and if it’s not deployed then you just use a webbrowser to access it.

    You can listen to voicemail, make calls, text from it. You do lose the bubbles to IOS people but I was able to get rid of me ~$200/month verizon bill.
