Response: [quote] maysim SIM cards can be deliver within Australia only. However, if your device is compatible to eSIM, you can purchase a plan to us and choose eSIM as your preferred type of SIM. What is an eSIM? An eSIM is a digital SIM you can download onto a compatible phone, tablet or watch. Unlike a traditional plastic SIM that you physically insert into the SIM card slot on your device, an eSIM lets you quickly download, activate and connect your mobile phone number to a cellular network." [\quote] Not suitable for my requirements.

I e-mailed amaysim, they and will get back to me within 2 business days.

I believe these cards don't have an Australian number

Aldi and Amaysim do not deliver Sim cards overseas. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'.

I no longer have any contacts in Australia. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'.

One of the Australian establishments I am engaging with is implementing a two-factor authentication system, which mandates an Australian mobile number for registration. The issue arises from my residence in Thailand, as the Australian establishment is unwilling to adapt the two-factor system to support an overseas mobile phone number. I need a SIM card with an Australian mobile phone number that can be used and accessed in Thailand, allowing me to receive 'push notifications' or SMS messages from the Australian establishment. I can provide a dedicated smartphone for such a card. The SIM card provider would have to mail the card to my address in Thailand and payment including top-up payments would be made by either AMEX, Bpay or 'Pay Anyone'. Are there any SIM cards available that meet these requirements?

There are plenty of accurate sources embedded into the Internet of which their content is virtually impossible to dilute. IMHO there are watchdogs observing this exact scenario; Gathering and then erasing history instantaneously at once may be the only option for AI but I doubt it very much. The schools anywhere only teach curriculum prescribed by their respective nations/states. And I dare say that none of programmes or courses communicate history accurately because of various individual, religious and ideological biases.

If you believed that to be true you would have posted a pertinent link

I reiterate, you've got me there. You really, really, really make a lot of sense.

A simple search on the Internet suggests otherwise.

Hmm, you've got me there. You really make lot of sense.

Similar to Talon Anvil?

Okay, you made your point and be happy in your real world. Have a wonderful day.

"He could have" - Yes, a modal verb for lost opportunity. Applies to all parties involved.

I am completely at ease if you're happy with your interpretation. That Putin wasn't bluffing needs no further explanation.

He wasn't.

It was an addition to my previous response to sammieuk1 - hardly and act of trolling.

Thanks for the link. Well, he wasn't bluffing, was he?

...and relies on emoticons for expressing him/her selves.

I don't know and don't recall reading about it.

Interesting message especially from someone who unmistakable isn't sure what he/she is talking about!

I thought discussing this issue here is what is this forum all about. My intent is/was to alert others that they should consider whether or not to blindly believe tabloid. It is obvious that many here are driven by emotions but squelching out other views can hardly be beneficial for any public communications venue. If the links that I have submitted are regarded as false then so be it - end of discussion, I am out of here. https://greatpowerrelations.com/not-one-inch-eastward/

The convenient term discussion were in fact promises made by world leaders.

Here you are. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early [quote] U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials[...] Baker assures Gorbachev that “neither the president nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place,” and that the Americans understand the importance for the USSR and Europe of guarantees that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” [...]the U.S. secretary of state three times offers assurances that if Germany were allowed to unify in NATO, preserving the U.S. presence in Europe, then NATO would not expand to the east.
