Not so far. I have never had to text a local number. What sort of things would I need that for? I am thinking like local ride sharing services or similar? I hadn't thought of that but it seems like you don't need a local number for that. What other things would I need a local text number for? And what does the average traveler do? There is always Whatsapp as well. And Google Fi (which a lot of people seem to use) doesn't give you a local number either. What am I missing?
