Strictly speaking it doesn't make it impossible. You have made a choice not to pay roaming fees while using your USA number while abroad.
- harshalizee 3y agoNope. I travel to EU often with roaming on. OTP SMSs for many services don't come through. It's a real pain.
- woobar 3y agoVery strange. How about regular SMS? Are they dropped too? I had zero issues with TMo, and I don't even need roaming for this.
- harshalizee 3y agoIt's weird, regular SMSs do come through, as far as I know. It's hard to tell as I don't get many SMSs, mostly iMessage and Whatsapp. I'm on AT&T, and something about automated messages from those 5-6 digit numbers never show up when you want them to.
- codegeek 3y agoSMS on roaming can be a hit or miss. I travel internationally every year and I am always worried that some SMSs wont reach and it happens from time to time. I especially hate those product/services that only do SMS based 2FA.
