Why Your USA Number Still Matters
🏦 Banking & Security
Many US banks rely heavily on SMS verification. If you cancel your number, you could be locked out of your accounts when you need money most.

💡 Pro Tip: A local Italian SIM is great for data, but it won’t receive your US bank codes. You need both to live stress-free abroad.
