Conventional options for international calls and texts
Until recently, travelers who wished to stay connected to family, friends, and work contacts while traveling abroad had relatively few options. Many US carriers have offered roaming plans in most countries of the world for quite some time now — and this does allow for phone calls, SMS, and data. However, as anyone who has ever used a roaming plan knows, phone services are terribly expensive, and international data is both terribly costly and frustratingly slow. Because of this, even most people who pay for roaming plans still end up desperately searching for WiFi, and sheepishly asking their professional contacts to perform important calls via Skype or WhatsApp. The other conventional option involves “talking like the locals.” No, this doesn’t mean learning the local language (though that certainly makes for an interesting travel experience), it simply means purchasing a local SIM card, placing that card in your unlocked phone, and loading it up with a local phone plan and/or local prepaid minutes. This method is almost invariably cheaper than roaming and tends to come with faster mobile data, as well. The downside is the initial moment of “disconnection.” Arriving in a new country without phone service and waiting in line for the airport to buy an overpriced travel SIM and phone plan can be inconvenient at best and intimidating at worst.
Surely there must be a better way…
