Not 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.
