Hello fellow forum members,

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm reaching out to you today from sunny Brazil, where I'm currently residing for an extended period. I've run into a small predicament regarding my Canadian banking services and I was hoping someone might be able to lend a helping hand.

To give you a little context, I already have a perfectly suitable cell phone plan here in Brazil that's cost-effective and covers my data needs. I don't require a phone to make or receive calls. However, my issue lies in the fact that my Canadian bank requires me to have a local Canadian wireless number to conduct wire transfers for my company. I only need to receive SMS messages from them, replying isn't necessary.

I've looked into the daily plans and they seem to cost around 16 CAD per day, which is exorbitantly high for me considering I only need to receive occasional SMS messages.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable and affordable wireless plan from Koodo, or perhaps another Canadian provider? Any leads on the best possible option that wouldn't break the bank would be immensely appreciated!

Thank you so much for your time, and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

Best regards,
Daniel
