A question for those using Tello eSIMs - can you do a first time activation of them outside of the US? I have experience with eSIMs and have found some you can activate outside of the 'home' country of purchase (via roaming I presume), some you can't. I am in Europe but am interested in a cheap US number for registering on websites (received SMSs) and minimal usage like that.

Hi @James Baker! Love your channel and this community! I am a nomadic remote IT worker and my main two issues at the moment are: 1. EU client companies insisting that my company location (US) and my physical location (EU/varies) are the same. As soon as I start explaining my nomadic situation they either get confused or see me as 'high risk' and withdraw their contract offers (3 so far!). I'm considering setting up a local EU company to act as a pass through / invoice forwarding only or use another provider for this. Keen to hear other solutions! 2. Opening a US Personal bank account remotely/100% online. I'm using an EMI but I don't trust them for long term use. Ideally, I'd like to get rewards credit card as well with low/no FX fees.
