I use T-Mobile. Unlimited Text and Data overseas in most countries. Phone use is 25cents per minute.
Just completed a 2 week trip to Thailand. My total cost $ 0.25

I have been with Consumer Cellular for years. Honest,low cost. I pay for my phone and my wife's phone a total of $50. Unlimited, talk, text, etc
No charge for that new sim card or to install it. Target is a consumer cellular agent.


I concur here. I pay $20 per month for a single line on Consumer Cellular 250 minutes a month, unlimited text. Had to get ripped off by US Cellular, Verizon and Sprint to learn my lesson. Consumer Cellular also has a Grandparents dedicated device connecting grandparents and children with a small monitor. Nominal monthly fee.

I don't do data on on phones. I use a small laptop and free wifi spots. No cell network HotSpots for me, with the proliferation of free WiFi in so many locations. So can't speak to Consumer Cellular there.

With T-Mobile your phone is your Hotspot so you can connect your laptop or tablet and pay no datalk charges

In about a month I’ll be traveling in France and Italy for several weeks. I have an unlocked iphone XS with Verizon service. I have purchased the phone outright so it’s not tied to a contract. I am trying to identify an optimum method for mobile service abroad. I haven’t used a foreign SIM card before but I assume that it wouldn’t be tied to my existing numbers. So calls and texts to that number wouldn’t reach me. Is that correct? Does anyone have experience with Google Fi on iPhones? Google Fios is in beta for iPhones. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
