The best international roaming plans for your phone while traveling
It's surprisingly easy to stay connected while on an international trip, whether you're looking for the most affordable and bare essentials or want as much data as you have at home with the ability to make phone calls and send or receive SMS text messages. That's why you should always consider one of the best international roaming plans to take with you. There are several options to stay connected abroad. In my international travel experience, I've found a dedicated international eSIM plan offered by services like Airalo very effective. It allows you to use the domestic plan and carrier you want independently from your international needs. Higher-end plans from major carriers and budget-conscious MVNO services also contain international features. After extensive research, it's clear that T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan has the best international features in a domestic plan. US Mobile's Unlimited Premium plan offers incredible international connectivity for a budget plan. These can be good options if you travel internationally often and make good use of premium domestic features, too. Airalo International eSIM data plan Airalo offers data-only plans for several countries and regions, as well as plans that include calls and SMS text messaging. Data is all most people need for maps directions, data-based voice calls with popular apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, and light web browsing to research destinations and attractions. You can still call emergency services in many countries, which isn't dependent a phone plan, but between your phone and the local cell service. Check price at Airalo International eSIM plans from providers like Airalo offer data plans for various countries, regions, or even globally. They're especially useful for infrequent travellers who don't want to tie international connectivity needs with their domestic plan. Airalo offers data-only plans as well as plans that include voice calls and SMS texting. In my experience, data is all most people need for travel essentials, like getting directions in a map app, light web browsing of local destinations, and using communication apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to call or message contacts. Still, the option for making voice calls and SMS texting is there. I've personally used Airalo's data-only plans successfully in Portugal, though there were some hiccups with my iPhone's iMessages. I don't suspect the issues I faced with iMessage were specific to Airalo. Rather, the issues likely come from whether contacts have my Apple ID saved in their contacts list. This issue would likely arise whenever you disable your US domestic SIM or eSIM. Numerous international eSIM providers exist besides Airalo. After researching features, pricing, support options, and user feedback online, I found that Ubigi and Roamless are suitable alternatives if Airalo doesn't have what you need. Depending on your data needs and the length of your trip, we think 5GB and 10GB plans should suffice for most people. You can check how much data you have left in the app, which is handy for managing your data use. You can also top up your data. It's not the end of the world if you run out of data and don't have the option to top up — you can sign up for a new plan, which requires a new eSIM. If you've run out of data, you need a reliable WiFi connection to top up or sign up for a new eSIM. These dedicated international services only work via eSIM, so you'll need to ensure your phone supports eSIMs. You can buy the plan you want and set up an eSIM before your trip, and activate that specific eSIM in your phone's settings when you arrive. Also, note that international eSIM plans don't typically work if your phone is locked to your carrier. Phones are typically locked if you buy them from your carrier. You can try contacting your carrier to unlock your phone before your trip. I'd also recommend disabling your domestic SIM or eSIM in your phone's settings while en route to your destination (like on the flight there). That way, your domestic service won't try to connect to an international network, and you won't incur outrageous international roaming fees. Even with a data-only plan, you can usually call local emergency services. However, emergency services may be unable to call you back if needed, as they won't have a phone number to call. Some countries may require a valid SIM or eSIM with a phone number, whether local or your home SIM — Nomad, for example, lists Germany and Switzerland as needing a valid SIM to make emergency calls. T-Mobile Experience More plan T-Mobile's Experience More plan is an excellent for most people with good T-Mobile coverage, as it comes with unlimited premium data, a generous 60GB of mobile hotspot data, tempting discounts on popular streaming services like Netflix and Apple TV Plus, and comprehensive international features. Overall, T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan has the best and most international features compared to Verizon's and AT&T's offerings. Indeed, T-Mobile's Experience More plan includes 5GB per month of high-speed data and unlimited SMS text messaging in 215+ countries and destinations. Visitors to Canada and Mexico can enjoy an even better 15GB of high-speed data and unlimited texts and calls. The more expensive T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan gives you 15GB of data to use in the same 215+ countries, and upgrades the Mexican/Canadian allowance to 30GB. The T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan also includes texting, WiFi, and video streaming on flights. However, it's only for domestic flights on Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, and United Airlines, so it's not something to consider for international travel. If you need more data or the ability to make traditional voice calls outside the US, Canada, or Mexico, you can add T-Mobile's International Pass, which includes unlimited calling and varying amounts of data: 512MB (for one day): $5 5GB (for 10 days): $35 15GB (for 30 days): $50 You can still make emergency calls in many countries, even with a data-only plan, but some countries may require a valid SIM. It's best practice to check before you set off. If you'd like to know more about how good the network is in general, in particular for domestic use, don't miss our fresh T-Mobile review. Best budget plan US Mobile's Unlimited Premium plan on the Light Speed network (T-Mobile) includes 10GB of data, 200 voice minutes, and 250 texts in over 180 countries. That's the most international features we've seen on a budget plan, and even beats the most expensive major carrier plans. US Mobile is also incredibly flexible in several important ways. For one, US Mobile customers who typically use the Dark Star (AT&T) or Warp (Verizon) network options at home can switch to Light Speed for their international trip. Indeed, Light Speed has the best international features among the three network options US Mobile offers. If you need to switch to US Mobile's Light Speed network, I would make the switch before you travel to ensure it goes smoothly. US Mobile customers who sign up for less expensive plans, like the Unlimited Starter or Unlimited Flex plans, on a monthly basis can also upgrade to the Unlimited Premium plan for a single month (or more, if their trip is longer). Then, when the trip is over, they can return to their original plan. Those who have already signed up for a less expensive US Mobile plan with an annual payment can upgrade to the Unlimited Premium plan. However, they won't be able to downgrade to their original plan and get a prorated refund after their trip — they'll have to downgrade back to their original plan when their annual cycle is over. Buy a local SIM or eSIM at your destination You can find out if local carriers have physical locations at the point-of-entry, like the airport, or near your hotel. You can get a prepaid SIM or eSIM with your data needs, and plans often include voice and SMS texting. The major benefit of going with a local carrier is getting in-person support at a physical location. Online chat support is nice, but nothing beats face-to-face interaction, whether there's something wrong or you need a new plan to get more data. Bear in mind that eSIMs bought locally, like those from airport vending machines, often charge a much higher rate per gigabyte than the providers highlighted on this page. How we test When possible, we test international plans in person by going through plan selection, setup, and the experience at the international destination. We assess the value of the plans, cellular signal quality, and data speeds while using map apps, web browsers, and social media apps. For plans where we haven't tried internationally, we assess the international features across competing options and the value they propose. We also research user experiences across the internet. We're currently testing a wide variety of international eSIM providers, and will update this guide with our findings. Tips You can activate your phone's "low data mode" option if it's available. It should also go without saying that you should connect to a WiFi network whenever possible, especially at your hotel (or wherever you're sleeping). For additional security, we'd advise checking out our roundup of the best cheap VPN deals to protect yourself on unfamiliar or public WiFi networks at home and abroad. We'd also recommend downloading music from your music streaming service of choice on a WiFi connection, whether at home or your destination. That way, you can listen to music in a car rental (or whenever) without streaming and using data.

T-Mobile vs Verizon: Which major phone carrier is the best?
When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more T-Mobile Plans Postpaid prices from $50p/m ($24 with multiple lines) Verizon Plans Postpaid prices from $65p/m ($30 with multiple lines) The verdict It's a close call, largely dictated by who offers the best coverage in your area. Verizon's extensive coverage and high speeds make it a popular choice, and it offers better flexibility for different users on a multi-line account. T-Mobile's prices are generally cheaper, the speeds are rapid, and there are some excellent perks for the magenta mobile carrier. If you're considering signing up for one of the biggest mobile carriers in the US, you've almost certainly been thinking about who comes out on top in a T-Mobile vs. Verizon matchup. Well, you're in luck as I've recently completed extensive testing of both, as shown in my T-Mobile review and Verizon review here at Business Insider. It's clear that both carriers offer excellent speeds and reliability when coverage isn't an issue, so your choice should almost entirely depend on coverage. If you're lucky enough to live in and frequently visit areas with good T-Mobile and Verizon coverage, you have the luxury to pick the option with the best value. Overall, Verizon offers better value for single and dual-line accounts, and T-Mobile offers significantly better value for three-plus-line accounts thanks to its long-running 3rd-line-free promotion. It also depends on how much you value mobile hotspot data and international features, where T-Mobile shines. We're only comparing T-Mobile's and Verizon's postpaid plans, as their prepaid plans offer comparatively poor value against mobile-virtual-network-operators (MVNOs). If you have single or dual-line accounts or are simply looking to spend thriftily, we'd highly recommend the MVNOs featured in our guide for the best cheap cell phone plans, like Mint Mobile and Visible. Plans and value When it comes to value and features, Verizon's Unlimited Welcome plan can't touch T-Mobile's Essentials plan. With that said, if you already subscribe to any of the services in Verizon's Benefits section, the savings can offset the cost of the Unlimited Welcome plans. In their respective mid-range options, T-Mobile's and Verizon's plans are a little more comparable, with the former still offering higher value based on mobile hotspot data and international features. Still, taking advantage of Verizon's streaming service discounts can reduce your monthly expenditure, at least if you already subscribe to them or plan to. T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan includes phenomenal mobile hotspot flexibility and international features compared to Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate plan. And with three lines or more, T-Mobile does it for a lower price than Verizon. Just keep in mind Verizon's streaming service discounts, too. Verizon's big advantage The ability to mix and match plans is a key Verizon advantage that T-Mobile doesn't offer. It lets every user under the account pick a plan that works for their needs without hamstringing the entire account to the highest-tier plan (and therefore, the highest cost). As a result, a Verizon multi-line account can be less expensive thanks to mixing and matching, even against T-Mobile's 3rd-line-free promotion. Here's one scenario for a three-line account, for the sake of example: On the flipside, mixing and matching plans doesn't matter if everyone in the account needs the same plan. If that's the case, T-Mobile generally continues to offer better value, depending on the plan and number of lines. Prepaid plans Both carriers have less expensive prepaid plans, but if you want to spend less than a postpaid plan, you're better off with a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). MVNOs like Mint Mobile and Visible, two of our top picks in our best cheap cell phone plans guide, offer more data for a lower price than T-Mobile and Verizon's prepaid plans. Mint Mobile and Visible also feature in our guides for the best cell phone plan for one person, as they're significantly less expensive than postpaid single and dual-line plans on T-Mobile and Verizon. Mint Mobile is also an ideal budget option in our best family cell phone plans guide. Mint Mobile was acquired by T-Mobile in 2024 and runs on the exact same network. Visible is a Verizon subsidiary, so it runs on Verizon's network. Coverage Getting the fastest data speeds is good to have if you often download large files or apps away from WiFi, but it isn't a necessity for most people. More important is reliable data speeds that let you send a message, scroll through photo-rich social media, stream a video, or have a video call across a wide coverage area. T-Mobile is often lauded for its excellent coverage in urban and suburban areas, as well as major highways, with rapidly expanding rural coverage. Verizon also has similarly excellent coverage as T-Mobile, with a better historical reputation in rural areas. Besides reputation, it's almost impossible for me to say which carrier has better coverage for you — coverage varies wildly across the nation. T-Mobile and Verizon coverage depends specifically on where you live and where you often visit. The best way to find out which carrier has the best coverage is to ask local neighbors, friends, family, and even search on social media channels like Facebook and Phone deals For both carriers, phone deals depend on your plan, with higher-tier plans unlocking greater discounts. Both carriers can get you a high-end phone, like the iPhone 16 Pro, for free, depending on the plan and other conditions. With that said, Verizon has a higher discount ceiling than T-Mobile and has deals that let you get even more expensive phones, like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, for free. The biggest difference between the two carriers is the timing of when you can upgrade to your next phone after buying a phone with a carrier deal. In this respect, T-Mobile wins out over Verizon. T-Mobile allows you to upgrade every year with the Experience Beyond plan and every two years with the Experience More and Essentials plans. Meanwhile, Verizon only lets you upgrade every three years, regardless of which plan you have. Satellite connectivity Both T-Mobile and Verizon offer satellite texting services when you're outside their respective coverage areas, which can also be used to contact emergency services. For satellite connectivity, T-Mobile has partnered with SpaceX, and Verizon with Skylo. Satellite connectivity via your carrier is mostly designed for Android users, as Apple has integrated satellite connectivity (in partnership with Globalstar) since the iPhone 14. Android phones that support satellite connectivity started a little later, but they've been made available since the Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series. T-Mobile's satellite connectivity is free and available to everyone until July 2025, after which it will cost $10 a month. So far, Verizon hasn't issued any pricing for its satellite service. Apple's satellite service is free for two years after you activate your iPhone 14 or newer. At this point, the company was supposed to have a pricing structure for after the two years are up, but Apple hasn't announced one yet. T-Mobile vs. Verizon: Which should you go for? The first thing you need to consider is which option has the best coverage for your area and the places you visit. The choice is simple if one has better coverage than the other in your particular case, regardless of value. If you've established that both T-Mobile and Verizon have good coverage for your needs, T-Mobile's Essentials plan is nearly impossible to beat in terms of value. It offers more premium data, mobile hotspot connectivity (although with slow 3G speeds), and more international features, all for a lower monthly bill than Verizon's Unlimited Welcome plan. T-Mobile customers also get plenty of perks like T-Mobile Tuesdays - weekly freebies like free pizza, cheap movie tickets, and money off at restaurants. Regular flyers will appreciate the free in-flight WiFi, too. T-Mobile's higher-tier plans also offer more features at a better value than Verizon's plans (and a massive 60GB of high-speed hotspot data), especially with two or more lines, depending on the plan. The streaming service discounts are a nice bonus if you need the features in T-Mobile's mid- and high-tier plans. Those with better Verizon coverage will be equally happy with Verizon's plans and features, even if they're more expensive than T-Mobile's. Plus, the ability to mix-and-match plans on Verizon could lead those with multi-line accounts to lower monthly bills than T-Mobile, depending on individual users' needs. To top it off, Verizon's streaming service discounts are a nice bonus that can reduce your monthly streaming service expenditures, and they can be applied even on Verizon's base-tier plan. If you want to upgrade your phone regularly, T-Mobile is the clear choice. You can upgrade every year on the top-tier plan and every two years on the others. With Verizon, you're locked in for three years, which can be a long time to be responsible for your phone. Want to check one of them out? Head on over to the latest offer sections of the T-Mobile and Verizon sites to find a plan that suits you best. How we test carriers We've tested the network experience and data speeds on T-Mobile and Verizon ourselves to come to our conclusions. We also evaluate their respective plans against each other and assess their features and value. We can't definitively test coverage due to the sheer size of the country and scale of coverage variation — it can truly vary on a block-by-block basis. However, we consider historical reputations and keep up to date with developments in coverage expansion.

T-Mobile's Starlink-powered satellite network can text 911 from virtually anywhere
Thinking about how your smartphone gets connected probably isn't high on the list of things you worry about. After all, for the most part, mobile phones are now pretty reliable across a lot of different locations. But what if you could get connected — at least on a basic level — virtually anywhere? It turns out the technology to do just that is coming soon to nearly all newer model smartphones, courtesy of T-Mobile. First, though, some background on cellular network developments. A few years back, the big excitement in the world of connectivity was 5G. In retrospect, the reality of that technology didn't live up to the hype of what some had promised. (Robotic surgery, anyone?) But the truth is, the enormous amount of effort and money invested to make 5G service as ubiquitous as it is now has made the experience of using our latest generation iPhones, Android phones and other devices significantly more speedy, satisfying and robust. Updating wireless networks to support 5G and other future network technologies also entailed a shifting of the landscape within the telecommunications industry. While much of the work centers around the technical details of frequency spectrum availability and usage, network architecture, and other factors that don't matter to consumers, the practical outcome has been a different perspective on the reach and capabilities of different carriers. In fact, based on recent speed and coverage tests, T-Mobile is now claiming they have the most reliable complete network (including 5G and 4G) in the country. While there will undoubtedly be debate on the specifics, there's no doubt that T-Mobile has dramatically raised its presence over the last few years in large part because of the work they've put into the 5G network. Even more importantly, the behind-the-scenes network buildout for 5G also laid the groundwork for the next big step in wireless connectivity: satellite-based service. Back in February, T-Mobile announced the debut and beta testing launch of a service called T-Satellite that was being made available not only to T-Mobile customers, but even those currently using either AT&T or Verizon (see T-Mobile's new Starlink offering makes satellite phones mainstream for more, including a detailed explanation of how the service works). T-Satellite provides support for text and MMS messaging to start. It is included with T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan for free, and is $10/month for everyone else (including AT&T and Verizon customers). Now, as part of the official commercial launch of that service — which kicks off on July 23 — T-Mobile announced a very important new benefit. Starting on October 1, any phone that qualifies for it (see a current list of qualifying phones here) can get access to the satellite service to send texts to 911, regardless of their carrier, at no charge. In other words, even if you're an AT&T or Verizon customer (as well as a T-Mobile one, of course) and you have an iPhone 13 or later, Samsung Galaxy A25 and S21 onward, the Z Flip and Z Fold 3 and forward, a Google Pixel 9, or the 2024 and 2025 versions of the Motorola razr, edge and moto g phones, you will have access to a new free safety net. There is one important step that will be required to leverage the service, and that involves adding an eSIM account for the satellite service to your existing phone. Final details will apparently be released closer to the October 1 launch, but it basically entails going into your phone's cellular settings and adding a plan or network connection. What it's really doing is letting your phone know there's another network that it can connect to if you happen to be where the service is available. Again, there will be no charge for 911 access. Right now, unless you sign up for T-Mobile's service, you won't be able to enable this, but details will be forthcoming. Like most U.S. carriers, T-Mobile's traditional cellular service generally only covers more populated areas. Geographically speaking, that translates to about 2/3 of the continental U.S., or 2.6 million of 3.1 million square miles. The new satellite-based options extend that reach to virtually the entire continental United States. For emergency purposes, this is an enormous deal, because it allows people to reach out for help from nearly anywhere. It's a fantastic example of technology having a huge positive impact, and there's absolutely no doubt that this service is going to save lives. Kudos to T-Mobile for making the service available. In order for T-Satellite to work, you need to be able to see the sky (in other words, not buried in a forest of trees or inside a cave). Unlike some of the earlier satellite services, such as those from Apple, the connection is done virtually automatically and doesn't require waving your phone towards the sky. The T-Satellite service essentially works like roaming onto a different network when you are in an area (or another country) where your primary service provider doesn't have cellular service. When you get into an area outside of normal coverage, it automatically switches to the satellite service, then shows a T-Mobile/Starlink connection and logo at the top of your phone screen. Once a connection is established, you can send a text to 911 at no charge. In addition to the free 911 service, T-Mobile also announced that on October 1, it will be adding some simple data-based services to paying customers of T-Satellite as well. To start, the company will offer support for AllTrails, Accuweather, WhatsApp and some still-to-be-named apps from Apple and Google. Support for video calls and other applications will be coming at a later date. While the T-Satellite service may not get you everything you've come to expect from your smartphone, it is a big step in the right direction for people who want connections in even more places.

T-Satellite with Starlink is launching next month — what you need to know about T-Mobile's satellite-to-mobile service
Starting next month, it should be easier than ever to stay connected on T-Mobile's wireless network, as the carrier has just announced plans to launch its satellite-to-mobile service starting July 23. T-Satellite launches initially with support for text messaging, with plans to offer data connectivity over satellite in October. The T-Satellite service is the result of a collaboration between T-Mobile and Starlink that was first announced three years ago. As detailed by T-Mobile president Mike Katz during a press event today (June 23), the T-Satellite service will be included with T-Mobile's $100/month Experience Beyond plan as well as older Go5G Next plans. Other T-Mobile plans will offer T-Satellite connectivity as a $10/month add-on. T-Satellite relies on a network of 650-plus satellites. Katz says that phones will automatically connect to the satellite-based network when there's no cellular connection, so users won't have to go through a connection process whenever they're out of range. According to T-Mobile, satellite connectivity will work with around 75% of the devices used by the carrier's current customer base. That covers nearly any that's been made in the last four years, Katz says. Both Android and iOS devices will have text message support at launch, and Android users will also enjoy support for MMS messaging. MMS support for iPhones will follow. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Starting October 1, T-Satellite will expand to data-based connectivity, with satellite-enabled apps from AccuWeather, AllTrails, Apple, Google, WhatsApp and X that coverage weather, mapping and messaging, among other crucial tasks for when you're in remote areas. T-Mobile is also offering developer tools to help app makers ready their own software for T-Satellite's data service. The initial launch of T-Satellite includes support for 911 texting by T-Mobile customers, but in October, T-Mobile says it will expand emergency texting to any mobile customer of any carrier who uses a compatible phone. T-Mobile announced the T-Satellite launch as part of an event to mark an award from third-party testing firm Ookla that names T-Mobile the best phone network in the U.S. It's quite a turnaround for the carrier which found itself ranked last in network performance surveys a dozen years ago. "We not only dream about going from worst to best, we actually do it," said chief operating officer Srini Gopalan. "We're a good two years ahead of Verizon and At&T and i believe that lead is going to grow." T-Mobile also made two other announcements today aimed at expanding its customer base. Perks offered by the company to subscribers will now included a free DashPass membership from DoorDash. DashPash normally costs $10/month and eliminates delivery fees while reducing service fees among other benefits. CEO Mike Sievert said the benefit will come to T-Mobile's "most popular plans," including the current Experience Beyond and Experience More options. In a move targeting Verizon customers looking to switch carriers, a new T-Mobile promotion called Easy Upgrade offers to pay off the balance customers owe to Verizon for their current phone. Those switchers will then receive a flagship phone — Sievert specifically mentioned devices like the iPhone 16, Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 — from T-Mobile.
