Yeah have friends with US phones using it here. I tried and can only load up with USDT. so then it's where to get USDT. Then it's find a centralised exchange etc. I just stick to getting cash out now and buying on local P2P market. all good. I think everything is a little slicker in USA to be honest but there's plenty of workarounds available. Got an ATM locally now so heading down there next week to feed it fiat notes, it's quite cathartic!
