Although there are various SMS transfer platforms available, and although Google Voice is very cost-effective, an overseas physical card still plays an irreplaceable role, allowing us to use overseas applications legally and compliantly without being blocked. . There are usually three options: Ukrainian eSIM card lifecell, British physical card giffgaff and American physical card Ultra mobile PayGo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSIM card is the easiest to obtain, as long as the mobile phone can support it; giffgaff has the lowest cost, but the loss rate of ordinary mail is as high as 90%, Taobao purchase (20 yuan) is a good choice; Ultra mobile PayGo is easy to purchase, but eBay is about 13 US dollars, monthly rent With a minimum of US$3, plus domestic transshipment, the purchase and holding costs are the highest among the three. But the US local bonus is surprisingly useful when using some US applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, all three have their own pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, I will walk you through the process of purchasing and using Ultra mobile PayGo for your reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Purchase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As long as you can transport it to China, placing an order on eBay is a good choice, for around $13. It costs about 200+ to buy directly in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you transport it separately, you won't save much money. You can consider packaging it with other products and returning it to your country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Activation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Activation URL: https:\/\/my.ultramobile.com\/paygo\/activation\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is recommended to use a US IP throughout the process. Switch to Chinese in the upper right corner and enter the 11-digit activation code on the back of the physical card<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enter the postal code\/select Chinese\/check the terms\/select a new number<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know which zip code in the United States to choose, you can consider Los Angeles (90016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no difference, except that I need to activate Wi-Fi Calling later, and the address I used is also in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
