Hi, so here’s the situation : I need to access government services in a different country to the one I live in permanently, and therefore I need a number in said country with the ability to receive SMS for login and payment confirmations. How should I go about it ?
I guess the easiest thing to do would be to wait for the next time I go there and buy a cheap SIM card there. But the problem is I’m only going to that country in a year from now, so I’d like to speed up things.
I thought about getting an e-SIM with the lowest amount possible of data, but it still comes out pretty expensive for just receiving confirmation messages.
Anyone have a better idea on how to do this ? How do double citizens go about this usually ?
Edit : didn’t think it would matter much, but the country I need a verification number in are Brazil and Colombia, while I am in the EU
It’ll probably help if you name the two countries
Hi, yeah sorry I thought since this is a universal problem it wouldn’t matter too much, but I need the remote number for Brazil and Colombia, while I reside in the EU
It is not universal problem. In EU for example there is universal roaming. So you can use your home sim card in destination country without extra costs. However there are some limitations with this approach.
