Tips for a traveling American

[IAmLIAm]

I’ll be in traveling through Ireland to a few locations starting next week, and looking for a few new experiences along the way. Will my American phone number be an issue when using WhatsApp? Should I get a local SIM card? Is it best to reserve time days in advanced or just about 24 hours.

Thank you!

I didn't have any problems communicating with or booking any providers using my US number. However, I also wasn't too concerned about hiding anything, so if extreme discretion is a concern then an Irish SIM would definitely be the way to go.

I'd also recommend reaching out to more established providers. Same rules for me in Ireland as in the States (or anywhere really); no reviews allowed = pass, deposit = pass, general uneasy feeling talking, texting/Whatsapp = pass. Overall the established providers on this site are far less a risk than anything state side (and a far more reasonable with their rates).

Be safe and have fun.

Don't think people should be telling others how to vote especially in their own country haha!
Maybe he'll let us know who he'll vote for and also who he might visit
