Hi attendees,

Where are folks doing for SIM cards & data access while in Singapore for this IETF?

I found this:
https://www.klook.com/activity/1460-sim-card-singapore

It is US$11 (SGD$15?) for 100GB of data/20 minutes of international calling, in 5 days.

Seems like a good deal. However, my experience with international SIM cards has been that when I replace the SIM in my iPhone, my regular number in iMessage gets deleted after a certain period of time (sometimes instantly), which is a huge hassle because then nobody can message me the usual way until after I return to the US. I am not sure if there is some workaround for that behavior, to keep the iMessages flowing. I suppose there is no way to keep the SMS messages flowing, short of leaving a phone plugged in, in the US, and having the phone forward the SMS messages elsewhere. Phone calls, of course, can be forwarded to other numbers fairly easily.

Thanks,

Sean
