Activating new TMobile SIM while overseas?

I need to move four lines from Sprint to TMobile side by mid-year.  Two of the phones are overseas, and users are unlikely to be in U.S. anytime soon.  If I send (or bring) the new SIMS to the users ...

Thanks.

 

One of the two overseas lines has been out of the U.S. for quite some time.  Very little roaming on the phone, which has been with Sprint for years.  I think we’ve kept the line primarily to avoid disruption to iMessage and WhatsApp communication (all the users’ contacts use the U.S. Sprint number), and for occasional roaming use when the local in country cell phone doesn’t have coverage, but the Sprint iPhone has roaming available.  

 

It may be time to park the numbers and give up the Sprint/TMob lines, and move forward with iMessage and WhatsApp with local in country phone numbers.  Any thoughts/suggestions on how to do this?  

 

Thanks again.
