Okay so I run a few businesses and travel, and my US LLC gets paid in USD.
US PayPal account, and US bank account. Sweet.
BUT I’m not from the US. So I always get blocked by banks and paypal, asking to SMS verify my US phone number
How do you guys solve this problem?
I’ve tried virtual numbers / Skype but often the stupid site will not accept it saying “sorry that number is not acceptable”.
I got a real US SIM, but somehow the US carriers cancel it after I’ve been nomading outside of the US, even though I’m still paying for it. It lasted for a while but now I’m stuck again.
I pay a couple bucks a month for an UltraMobile plan that is wifi calling capable. I don’t actually use it very much, but when I need it it’s a lifesaver.
The bonus is also that if I return to the US I’ve already got a phone working.
