Okay so I run a few businesses and travel, and my US LLC gets paid in USD.

US PayPal account, and US bank account. Sweet.

BUT I’m not from the US. So I always get blocked by banks and paypal, asking to SMS verify my US phone number

How do you guys solve this problem?

I’ve tried virtual numbers / Skype but often the stupid site will not accept it saying “sorry that number is not acceptable”.

I got a real US SIM, but somehow the US carriers cancel it after I’ve been nomading outside of the US, even though I’m still paying for it. It lasted for a while but now I’m stuck again.

    Perhaps your problem is that you’re using one of the big carriers. I have a Tracfone SIM (basically a burner phone) and have been nomading outside the US for the past 2 years and whenever I go back to the US, my phone works fine.

    I’m a US citizen though so perhaps different in your case.
