Expat life / Re: long them USA phone number in Taiwan

Thanks for confirming... I'll set my Voice number up for a couple banks' 2 factor and test it out. I thought it wasn't an option since I had read it wouldn't work well for 2-factor texts.

Yes, for local TW everyday use we'll definitely have local mobile service.

Expat life / long term USA phone number in Taiwan

« on: March 03, 2022, 08:31:59 AM »

We plan to go to Taiwan for several years starting this summer.

We currently use Google FI. But their terms vaguely say it can't be used for long term international travel. "If you try to activate Fi abroad or use Fi service predominantly internationally, you may have your international capabilities suspended."

I've also read that many banks/companies won't allow Google Voice for 2-factor authorization.

What's the easiest/cheapest way to keep a US number while in Taiwan, specifically for 2 factor use?

Thanks
Don
