I am occasionally out of the country for more than a month... I usually pause my phone plan because I don't want to pay for a service I am not using. Sometimes I even get a different number when I return and restart my plan. That is why I use Google Voice, because I can use it over wifi or a data only plan, and the number doesn't change. But now, some stupid companies are blocking Google Voice from being used.
