I travel most of the year, all over. Mostly in South America this year. I have ported my number so I can receive SMS text messages, but my phone can't receive calls. I paid to make calls on an app, but looking to change to a real phone line. Some apps don't accept VoIP phone numbers like Google Voice.

So I'm looking for a phone plan with a good international plan. I tried Mint, but they only offer packages on top of the monthly subscription price. T-Mobile is good, except I'm only one person on one line, I don't want to buy the 4+ line option. US Mobile is the best one I've seen, but I'm still unsure if it will provide international coverage that I need.

I've been using eSIMs and not purchasing data to save money. The only reason I'm searching for a real phone line is I'm hoping to get a remote job and make/receive calls without hassle. Any advice?

Edit: If staying off a phone plan is possible, that would be ideal. I just have not found a way to be able to send/receive calls on the same number internationally. I do not need a bunch of GBs, I need an affordable and reliable way to make/receive phone calls while abroad.

I have had my Beats3 Wireless Headphones since 2018... for 8 years they have served me well and I've replaced the earpads once. However, just recently, the right headphone speaker gave out. It doesn't matter if I use a wire or bluetooth, only sound comes out from the left side. So I'm looking to find a replacement that will be durable, long battery life, and options for wire as well as wireless. Should I just get another Beats3, or does anyone have recommendations that they could share? Thanks!

I'm a US citizen living in Colombia- I have been buying eSIMs when needed, but don't really use data (just wifi) so I don't have a regular phone plan. I ported my number with Tossable Digits to get SMS messages, but I can't receive calls through their services, only voicemails. I am applying for jobs and I need a way to answer calls from US. How can I receive calls from US with my current number? Would I need to unport my number first? TIA
