Thanks! Good timing for me.
Counting down the days yet?
@@JonAbroad Sure! Today marks 50 days to departure. It won't be long now. Looking forward to being in SE Asia once again.
It's a great place to be. Especially with how the west is proving to be a difficult place to navigate. (In my opinion)
Hey John! Thanks for sharing this valuable info. How are your download & upload speeds? Didnt you get a cable installed for faster speeds? Im a video editor in Southwest USA planning to work from Siem Reap, long-term. I'd love to hear what your setup is like & what speeds you get today. Thanks
Metfone fiber is decent and recently Smart has a fiber+ package that is faster and like $2 cheaper. It seems to be more stable (for me in my area anyway) I'm getting about 90mbps up/down. they do offer commercial packages with much faster connections, but honestly, 90 is plenty fast for me. I guess if gaming a lot the latency could be an issue.
@@JonAbroad 90 isn’t bad! I’m getting 311mbps but I would never expect that to come out of Cambodia just yet 😅 I’m actually very happy with 90 mbps. Thanks for your quick response, John, and warm regards ✌️
happy to help 🙏🏻 btw you can get 300+ speeds but at a commercial rates. look at this...

Using a VPN will allow you to download these apps regardless of where you are :)
Cheers! How's it going? I'll be there in April / May :)
Shoutout Android users!
I was trying to help a buddy get google voice arranged and even using a VPN it still detected he was outside of the US. I don't know if Google detects VPNs during setup or what.
Other items I have problems using VPNs for is ChatGPT, it detects VPNs and even logging into my account that was setup in the US, it won't let me log in and states it's not available in my country.
Anyway, this video was just an idea I had, so I turned it into a video.
Thanks for your input and thanks for watching, cheers.
I have not tried GV outside the US. Since it is US centric, it might be best to use it outside the US with a VPN active so Google does not see a foreign IP address. An alternative option is Tossable Digits, they have an Expats plan where one can park their US phone number and if needed transfer calls to that number to a foreign phone number.
I use Google Voice daily. Once it's been setup, you won't need a VPN. So if you are still in the US or have already set one up in the US, it will work flawlessly. I send and receive texts as well as make and receive phone calls. Personally when I moved here I ported my phone number and ditched my T-Mobile account. Due to the age of my parents, I wanted to make sure they could call me on the same phone number they have been using for 10+ years.
Whenever I go back to visit the US I just get a prepaid sim, as long as I have internet I can still use Google voice. Basically just using the prepaid service as a source of internet when away from wifi.
