Very helpful video. Thank you! My only comment would be to turn down the background music. It is too loud, it is distracting, and makes it difficult to listen to your helpful discussion.

Will all phones work there? I have a Samsng S10e here in the USA that I will be using there. I thought I read that your phone needs to work on the same type of band or something??

What makes me angry is when you buy a simcard and start using it alot of other people start calling you looking for people u never met on your brand new simcard! O really now!!! I so hate it!!!
