- lbotos 6y agoNot OP but I face this problem: - Why can't you recieve sms abroad? Because I use e-sims and pay $10 for 30 days of data only vs. the $30 my provider would add to my bill for "global data". > Do you leave your phone behind when you travel? No, but I do leave my US number "dormant" in that i can't use it. > Why can't you give Google your current phone number? Because they already have a clear enough data picture of who i am, and I don't want them to have any more data that I'm willingly giving them.
- StavrosK 6y agoCan you give some more info on eSIMs, where you get them from, how much data they have, etc?
- fiblye 6y ago> Why can't you recieve sms abroad? Because my SIM card is useless the minute I'm outside of its recognized area. > Why can't you give Google your current phone number? Because my phone number is useless the minute I'm outside of its recognized area. My old bank accounts have my old phone number on record. It hasn't been my phone number in 6 years and they don't accept phone numbers from my current country. I'm not going to give Google my current phone number, because if it changes again, I'll be locked out of those accounts forever should I move or change numbers again. As it is, I can still login while having someone lend me a phone and making my account completely insecure.
