Great information and very useful for those of us planning on making the move. I was considering going the MagicJack route, and porting my current number over. The Skype option looks like it may be a more viable means, as MJ has been known to have some banking institutions identify those numbers as VPN based, and shut down account activities, as SMS traffic may not work. I am curious if there are some recommended phones for either a secondary Philippine phone, or perhaps the dual-SIM/e-SIM options? I have seen some content providers mention a few phones aren't recommended, or don't do well over there. Stay safe and take care. I'll be looking forward to further helpful content as well as your travel clips.

MagicJack brings back memories. My neighbor used to use that for making phone calls to the Philippines to his wife. When I first started dating my girlfriend over there though, Skype was already coming in to replace MagicJack, so I used Skype instead. Later when Facebook Messenger came out with video chat, we went that route, but now we deleted Facebook and went back to Skype.

The 2-factor-authentication codes from banks are sent using the sort-code format. The reason Google Fi and most other free voice and texting devices do not work for bank 2FA is because they use VOIP (voice over internet protocol) instead of the the telephone network - and VOIP does not support the short-code format.

I have been using Google Voice in th US for many years to get codes for many banks, credit unions, brokerages, credit card companies, etc. Works for me. However, when first setting up an account at a new institution, sometimes they will want to verify your identity with a mobile # by contacting your mobile carrier. That will not work with a VOIP #. So then, I'm usually allowed to verify my identity by using another method (maybe uploading some document). But then, even institutions that I had to do this with, once I had the account opened and verified, I was still able to use my Google Voice # to receive 2FA codes.

I live in Costa Rica now, from Pennsylvania. I lost my US phone number while trying to switch from my long time T-Mobile to mint mobile while here. After activating Mint mobile I was told I cannot use their service here in Costa Rica. Now I no longer have my phone number. Your video is telling me that I need to be in the United States in order to download and use Google voice here in Costa Rica? I have been trying to get my bank's verification codes but unsuccessful. Please help?

I know this video is a few months old now. But I do have a question. Is there a way where me being here in America, that I can get a Philippine phone number. So my friends and new in-laws can text me and call me on their phone. And also receive sms verifications for different things I may need a Philippine phone number for. Right now I'm using an app called textnow for my local US number. It's like having a free cell phone service on Wi-Fi. I like to have something similar to it but with a Philippines phone number. Do you have any solution or ideas?

Still confused. So I live in the US but want a U.K. number. I buy a number. But now I also need to buy credit ? So if someone calls me on the U.K. number from the U.K. and I am in the US do I pay for that call per minute ??

One thing that I don't get with a skype phone number. Let's say I buy the phone number for 12 months. And then I am planning to make a lot of phone calls. Do I need to buy some credit for that phone number to be able to do that or that is covered when you buy the phone numbers subscription?

You can buy a subscription to cover all calls

@@GiointhePhilippines when I try to buy a Skype phone number it does not allow me to chose a subscription that covers calls. It only allows me to chose payment plan. Is there like two different subscriptions you need to make a phone calls 1. To be able to have the number 2. To make calls? Is that how it works with Skype?
