Bangkok Bank debit card use in USA
taxout replied to Wake Up's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Note very carefully the distinction on that UnionPay site; the OP is talking about a DEBIT card. "In the US, over 80% merchants accept UnionPay CREDIT cards for payment via signature verification. You can also pay with UnionPay DEBIT cards via PIN at merchants equipped with PIN pad." Note Amazon's policy: "The following payment methods are available for use: . . . China UnionPay (CREDIT card only)." -

If you're going to be buying things online in the US, then you'll find UnionPay not very useful. -
It is really isn't relevant why SMS don't always work with Ultra on Wifi. The fact is they do not. Since Ultra doesn't provide an itemized bill, you can't be sure how much you're being charged for each SMS or call. Perhaps it has changed, but originally the fee for getting a roaming SMS was around $1 on the $3/month plan.

Starting Social Security benefits
taxout replied to DineshR's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
At least during Covid, I was not asked to provide any documents. However, I was asked for the names of my employers at a few times during the '70s. -
Duh. Yes I know perfectly well what I'm doing. Sometimes SMSs don't come through when connected "via wifi." And sometimes "via wifi" just switches off or never comes on. "Iffy," for those unfamiliar with slang, means "not completely dependable."

It's been iffy for me receiving SMSs with Ultra while using wifi. Also, wifi calling itself is iffy. Sometimes there's a connection, sometimes not. Not at all happy that you can't get an itemization from Ultra. They just take whatever from your wallet.

Although the FBAR form is consistently dated 2013 and labeled Version 1.0, in fact the insides of the form do change from year, and if you don't download and use the latest form from the website it'll be rejected "because the version of the report is outdated." Why they don't properly mark version numbers on the form I don't know.
