We will be traveling in Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia and I am wondering if I will still be able to receive SMS messages while traveling. Most concerned about 2-step verifications from banks.

We will use a local network e-sim for data but plan on keeping our FIZZ SIM active for calls/texts.

Can anyone actually verify if this will work? Thanks for all replies.

    Hi @Stephen G. #32755

    Yes the incoming SMS are free and working everywhere

    However, the bank SMS are short message number, and I believe that they have some control to which country allow

    You should ask your bank

    Hi @stephen

    Check to see if you bank has an app that will allow you to login with the phones biometrics rather than a SMS for two factor authentiction.

    If not, consider setting up an account for your travels - the ones I use are no fee accounts and login with my phones biometrics, no sms required.

    Cheers,

    Brad
