Strategy to obtain US Amex

Good morning. anyone able to use Tello this morning? I have 2 Tello Esims. Both unable to call/text this morning with Wi-Fi Calling isnt available (Error code 82). Could not contact Tello at all.

Hoping to see if it's something to do with my Sims or with the Whole Tello Service.

Thanks.
 
This idea of applying for a US amex is super interesting.

Im just curious outside of the annual fee, what does it cost for everything to get past global transfer.
 
There's no fee from Amex for GT. The only other thing you need to factor in is the (small) forex cost incurred on transferring money to your US checking account to pay the bill. I've found that's massively outweighed by the benefits though.
 
Im more talking about the phone number and mailbox fee.

I feel this setup is better for business owners with large expenses rather than a person like me on an average income
 
For phone I got a number from 'US mobile' (they have excellent data speeds BTW!) then ported it to Google Voice, so no cost. Mailbox costs ~US$80/yr, so far I've not had shipping costs as picked up one card when in the US and got Amex to ship the other.
