silentlink was easy to set up for me in canada, but i was only using it for data.
having a local phone number that i could receive texts on became important eventually, and ultimately ended my silent link experiment.
the one thing i couldn’t get around was that my bank required 2FA and they only allowed 2FA via text or call.
silent.link has an option to get a number too. But it costs more money.

true, silent link’s price for a number is much more than a cheap canadian carrier though, so went that route
