My daughter is in Spain for a month for an exchange, and her host got her a local SIM card to use while she was there. It was cheap and works great (8 euros for 22 GB or something).
My concern is she reported that when she started up the phone with the new temporary SIM, she received a SMS from… Koodo? (I’m not sure), saying that (and I’m paraphrasing here) after 29 more days her current phone number with Koodo would be lost.
Does this make sense? If you swap out the Koodo SIM for a month, do you lose the Koodo phone number or is there some other problem with using a local SIM card while traveling for an extended time? Easy Roam is crazy expensive compared to local European plans.
