Verizon TravelPass

Verizon makes it super easy to travel internationally without stressing. The TravelPass [5] lets you take your talk, text, and data with you to more than 185 countries for a low daily rate. It costs $5 a day in Canada and Mexico or $10 a day for any other country on the list.

AT&T International Day Pass

AT&T has a simple cell phone plan that is $10 per day, per device to access data internationally. Rather than paying for tons of data to use while abroad, you can now simply add an International Day Pass [6] to access your domestic data allowance in any supported roaming country. The pass stays on your phone until it's canceled and is only activated and charged for each day you spend internationally with data.

T-Mobile Magenta

T-Mobile customers with the Magenta plan [7] receive unlimited 2G data and texting in more than 210 countries and destinations at no extra charge, while voice calls are $0.25/minute. This plan is great for web browsing, email, social media, and the occasional use of certain features like a GPS or maps. You're also able to upgrade to Magenta Plus for data at two times the speed of the other T-Mobile plans.

Sprint Global Roaming

Sprint Global Roaming [8] enables international roaming nearly everywhere around the globe. In more than 200 featured destinations, text and basic data are included at no additional cost, while calls are only $0.25/minute.
