I wish they would sell international only sims ,

I would love to try it but it's not worth $20 a month for the free calls / texts in the USA , I already have that covered.

Just pause it when you aren't traveling.

But when u pause it can people leave vm? I"m one of the one's that transferred my primary number before I realized I shouldn't have done that - is there any way to leave a vm that people could hear when I'm on pause?

I don't believe you can receive a VM when your account is paused.

No I didn't expect to be able to receive a vm -just wondered if I could LEAVE - a message like "this number is unavailable until..... if u want to reach me please email...
Does anyone know what a caller hears when they call a number you have suspended?

I just tried my suspended account and it said the call could not be completed as dialed.

Thanks so much - saved me from having to test it myself !!! I really appreciate the help.

Flawlessly working in both Singapore and Thailand. Laos and Philippines next.

one interesting point, I’m using my moto x4 as a hotspot for my British iPhone. I noticed when opening Netflix while tethered I got the US selection of programs, and while on local WiFi some shows were missing, I guess that vpn thing works pretty well then.

I was going to get local sims. But now near the 6gb mark and incremental data basically being free I’m debating bothering.

i have a spare mobile data sim with me, so might just stick that in my iPhone, since I don’t need to make or receive voice calls.

do I need to change apn settings myself with the data sim, or will it just work?

It didn't auto populate the iphone for me. I have to manually set the APN. I followed the first link came up on google search:

It may have worked for you in Thailand but I was there for a month with a galaxy s8 which had worked fine with tmo and sprint.
With Fi I could NOT make or receive any calls on the phone despite extensive trouble shooting with support. This means I may have missed some vm.
Data did work fine. Since google also BLOCKS hangouts in Thailand I had to use other means - no exactly the experience I was hoping for :(

It worked great in Fiji and Oz with a Pixel 3. My wife's LTE iPad worked perfectly also with one of my Fi data SIMs.

estnet Feb 17, 2019 9:54 pm
How or where Fi works seems VERY tied to whether you have a Fi or Fi "compatible" phone.
I think posting which phone you are using when posting results would be very helpful!

How is that Moto X4 as a hotspot? The price is really right and I'm thinking about getting that instead of a MiFi.

LAXlocal Feb 18, 2019 2:11 pm
Looks like Google Fi website is selling the Moto X4 at $149 , if you start a new account, I am not sure about if you already have an account.
I really only want a dual SIM phone if I am buying to use with Fi , hopefully the cheaper Motos will start adding that.....
