If a SMS is sent to SIM (number) A, but A has not network, only B has, then you won't get the message. For calls you can set up a forwa...

Re: receiving 2 factor authentication while abroad

I am not sure, what you guys try to achive. If you have a eSiM, it is exactly the same, like you have a physical SIM. So having a eSIM + a physical SIM, is exactly the same thing, like having 2 physical SIM. If a call gets in in either of the SIM, you can answer the call. If you make a call, you ca...

Re: receiving 2 factor authentication while abroad

If i am expecting an authorization from my home sim-- how would putting a local sim card help that? I thought the advantage of having a dual sim means you don't need a seperate p...

Re: receiving 2 factor authentication while abroad

Google Voice can do it. It might take some tweaking in the setup (e.g., forwarding to email, to avoid having to sign in, etc.), but it should be able to handle 2-factor authentication. No SIM card needed. Or payment either. As long as you have a wifi signal, it's like you're calling/texting from yo...

Re: Oh, You Internet.

Even in some jobs they tell you to not intervene. Regardless of what the job description says, I would never risk it
