Hello, I’m not great with this stuff so please bare with me.
Previously, when I traveled in Mexico I had no service because it costs a shit ton for me to upgrade to that option in foreign countries. I had informed by bank that I was traveling but they still kept rejecting my cards at any stores I went to. When I got back home to the US I got all the text messages my bank was sending me all at once saying they cancelled my purchases in a unknown location. The problem is, this time around I have an online business that I will NEED to make purchases for so I can’t have my card declining all the time. If I set up a MySudo phone number and have the bank use that as my primary number + use a VPN for all my purchases, will that put me in the green? If something were to occur I should get the messages because I will be using Wifi and MySudo is messaging via wifi, so I can easily confirm with my bank that it is me making purchases. I will be in Mexico for almost two months.
Sounds like you need a better cell plan. For example Google Fi.
I might misunderstand something, but I don’t think you need a VPN for what you intend to achieve.
It MAY work but not guaranteed. I’d definitely test before leaving.
I assume you’re talking about making online purchases because a VPN won’t do anything about a purchase in a physical store.
If it’s physical then making sure your bank knows where you are and can contact you for a fraud check is all you can do. Note they may choose to voice call instead of txt, make sure “my sudo” works for that (I’m not familiar with it)
If they’re online purchases do a test one before you leave, there’s no difference between being on VPN in the US (I assume thats where you are) and being in VPN in mexico. So if it works before you leave then there’s no reason it shouldnt work in Mexico.
Be aware that some stores/sites (ebay for example)will block access to vpn users
thank you so much, I am switching to Visible
Have you looked into Google Fi? Because while it is a bit more expensive, it covers almost every country in the world.
