We talked about this in another thread on FR, last time I was in Europe about 4 years ago, I called AT&T and they had a $7/day roaming plan with unlimited talk/text/data for the countries I visited.
That’s not too bad
My carrier offers a $15/day plan.
When my son, who is on my account, went to Italy for two weeks we called T-Mobile and I explained what We wanted the phone to do while there. There was an add on international plan that had talk,txt and 15GB data for $35 and it was active for 30 days. He used Wi-Fi a lot in hotels and other places, and used about 9 GB of the data plan. If you are about to go over on the plan for the data you bought, it would prompt you to buy another 15GB for another $35 so there are no surprises (which he did not need to do).
This was easy and cheap and worth it, in my opinion. it worked seamlessly with no surprises.
I don’t know who was advising this poor man at the t-mo store but they did him wrong.
Right, my international roaming is $10/day with Verizon. Will test that out later this year.
