Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?
We kept our Google FI phones but also had local phones through Tmobile. Since we did so much regional and outside country travel, having the Fi phones were useful. Local service was very affordable. - Jun 2023
