How long did it take for them to turn it off?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

two years I think. they told me I need to go to the United States at least once a year.

Seems entirely reasonable to me, depending on the country it costs them extra to route your calls overseas to another network.
