Hello all,
Have not written/participated in ages. I am fully settled and no longer feel like an expat, but I still need your advice
Short version: I live in BA and need a US cell phone number to receive text messages from my US bank.
Long version below:
On my last trip to the US, I opened a Bank of America account. I had always used Citi and never had a problem with bank transfers.
Back in BA, I tried transferring money with my new BofA account and what a pain! I need to enter a code that they send to a US cell phone (which I don't have) OR order a Safe Pass card. The Safe Pass card is out of the question for now, so I thought of getting a US cell phone line just to get those silly codes sent by text message.
I am flying out to ATL soon and planning to get a chip that allows me to receive text messages here.
So the question is, if I get a SIM card at Best Buy for example, can I charge credit online? How does it work?
Thank you thank you thank you!
