Ask HN: Digital Nomad Guide for International Phone Numbers
2 by doorknobguy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’m looking for advice on how to select a phone number that works for someone who moves a lot. *Current state* - I move to a different country every 3-4 years & travel a lot - I have a UK phone number - I’ll move away from UK to somewhere else *Wants* - Single phone number - have it for rest of my life - Receive International SMS - need for banks + application login + 2-factor) - Works with Whatsapp & Telegram - Cost is cheap end (less than $15 per month) *Other Info* - Don’t need any data plans. I use AirAlo and buy eSim or Local Sim whenever I move/travel *Current Solution* *Pros* - I’m using a VOIP provider called Hushed - It says it doesn’t guarantee 2 factor, but it has worked with literally every single application & non North American bank. (My main bank is not in NA so doesn’t effect me) - I can get international SMS and calls - Cheap $7/mo - I can extend it forever as long as I pay *Cons* - Whatsapp doesn’t work with VOIP tl;dr - Current solution handles all requirements except Whatsapp - Do you have any suggestions?
