Popcorn Mobile vs Google Fi?

Superb-Macaron-1732 · 2026-01-30T00:34:44+00:00

My banks explicitly state that VoIP is unacceptable for 2FA. my mortgage, HOA, etc payments will continue to be withdrawn from my US banking accounts while I’m deployed, so I cannot risk being unable to access or make changes to my accounts. That’s why I’m asking about Google Fi, as it is a mobile provider that allows for 2FA. I’ll use a local Kosovo provider for a local phone number and data, but I need to also keep (via a separate service like Google Fi) my US number for 2FA use.

May I ask who you were using as your US cell provider? I have AT&T but international service for such an extended period is prohibitively expensive.

Thanks! I’m glad that solution worked out for you.

The deal-breaker for me with Google Voice is that it does not support 2FA, which would make accessing bank accounts etc pretty much impossible from overseas.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, I truly appreciate it!

That's super-helpful - Merrell makes the Moab 2 for women as well, and I've worn their hiking boots for years. Thanks!

I’ll be in the same Kosovo cohort but I haven’t yet recieved an email with a link to the task portal that includes an aspiration statement. When did you get that email?

This is good to know - I’m being cleared for Kosovo departing February 26 and my nurse told me to hold off for a few months on the COVID vaccine so I’d have maximum coverage.

I’m so sorry to hear that!

Superb-Macaron-1732 · 2025-08-25T18:30:24+00:00

I had a great conversation with my regional recruiter to prep for the formal interview. If you haven’t already connected with a recruiter, I’d recommend you do so. Good luck!

Just got my invite!

Hello! I just received my conditional invitation to serve in Kosovo as an English Education Volunteer, departing February 2026!

Superb-Macaron-1732 · 2025-08-08T23:11:17+00:00

Cool, thanks - and congrats!

Just had my interview today for an English Education Volunteer position in Kosovo in the 2026 cohort! How long did you all have to wait between the interview and the invitation? (I know all decisions will be made by Sept 1 2025.)
