Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

[rob0001]

I have seen many posting saying that Google Voice numbers don't work for 2FA, and perhaps it's true at one point, for certain specific numbers, or specific institutions. However, I can confirm that I am able to use my Google Voice number for 2FA for my brokerage, retirement and bank accounts. Therefore, I would suggest that individuals try it before dismissing it as an option. I also had a case where I was receiving the code as a call instead of text and the code was picked up by voice mail but it looks like I never received the call. I later realized it was because Google Voice thought it was spam. It was fine after I let it know the number wasn't spam.

There are a few banks and brokerage companies that work and many that don't...

GSM Arena (https://www.gsmarena.com) is the best and most up to date database for phones I've found. It includes international models, not just US or EU phones. If you want to search for phones with eSIM support, use this: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sSIMTypes=4

There are also SIM cards with specialized software that function as eSIM emulators. These essentially transform standard phones into eSim phones.
See https://esim.me , for example.
