Mint mobile. $180 for a year. I heard that Google voice might not work for second factor authentication for banks, etc. We kept our iPhones and eSIMed Mint mobile and physical SIMed our foreign plan. When we got new phones we eSIMed both plans and can run both at the same time over the cell network. We turned on WIFI calling for Mint mobile as well.
