plan choice if we spend all our time overseas
switch to if we are travelling a lot overseas this year. we just want a bare plan that allows us to keep the number and make 2 to 3 calls per month
Of course, you can 'leave your line at home' (SIM card), assuming its still physical, and use a prepaid while away. You can still check on your voicemails, and make calls (diff number). Its technically simpler to do.
This may sound a bit of an odd way to do this … but:
Since T-Mobile doesn't allow long roaming (internationally or other), I'd recommend getting another line (or 2) , and port your numbers that you want to keep to a VoIP number, which isn't physically tied to a prepaid/separate plan. While you're travelling, use international SIM cards. When you're done, add that line back in.
I did the opposite .. I moved my ‘landline’ from PacBell → Spectrum → T-Mobile (free line).
