Heh, i actually tried. They would invalidate my other sim if i get a second one. There is no such thing as "backup sim" with the provider i was with.

- kintamanimatt 10y agoThen use a different provider. I'm not trying to suggest you get a redundant SIM on the same account; that's not possible. You get a second prepaid account (with a different number) with either the same or a different carrier.
- herbst 10y agoHow would that solve the initial issue tho? I still would have to change my phone number with dozens of different services.
- kintamanimatt 10y agoIf you're looking for a work-free backup/restore solution, those don't exist. The point is that you'll at least have immediate access to an active number from your home country that you can give to your banks or whatever. This means your banks (and others) aren't going to be weirded out by that non-domestic phone number, which is a problem you were describing. Sometimes you'll be able to port your number too.
