I have a google voice number. The only one who does not use google voice number is patients.
Did you get this sim card before your trip? Where do you get it? The data is particularly attractive. I need to check in data wise for work and while I will turn off data to not get emails unless I am on wifi there will be times I need it.
I was planning on a usb port. probably two as everyone has something to charge.
thank you so much for this amazing advice. How can I get more information on the sim card? Did you leave your 'regular' sim card at home or just put it someplace super safe?
thanks again!
