A US virtual number just doesn't cut it (alien.top)

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.

Get a TMobile account. That’s what I’ve been using and I have no problems being anywhere.

What is the cheapest plan that will work overseas on Wi-Fi? Any of the pre-paid plans?

I see that the cheapest T-Mobile got is $45/month
