International Travel with Apple and Verizon Wireless

Before traveling to Peru, we needed to know our calling options and how it works with Apple and Verizon Wireless. We knew we wouldn't have access while we were in the Amazon but maybe during backpacking? 

We needed something short term and found it with Verizon Wireless called: TravelPass.

With TravelPass your wireless plan travels just like you do. If you want to use your phone like you do at home with unlimited calling and texting along with 4G LTE data, TravelPass is for you. You’ll only be charged on the days you use calls, send texts or use data on your device abroad. And so there’s no need to remove it when you get home.

To add TravelPass, text Travel to 4004 or click here.

What is TravelPass?

TravelPass lets you use your domestic talk, text and data allowances while traveling outside the US in more than 185 countries for a low daily rate. Visit the TravelPass countries page for more information.

TravelPass:

• Pay a flat rate for a 24-hour session rather than per minute, message or MB
• Daily charge only applies on days you use your service outside of the US, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands
• Daily rate is $5/day in Mexico and Canada* and $10/day in other TravelPass countries**
• Use your minutes, messages and data allowances from your domestic plan
• High speed data applies for the first 0.5 GB/day with 2G reduced speeds thereafter
