As peak travel season approaches, ensuring that your tech is travel-ready becomes essential. If traveling internationally, you must verify that your phone plan covers your destination to avoid excessive roaming fees. Most U.S. carriers, such as AT&T, provide international plans like the International Day Pass, which charges daily for coverage in the majority of countries. As an alternative, travelers can acquire local SIM cards or use apps like WhatsApp for free communication via Wi-Fi. Additionally, travelers must remember to pack a travel adapter for non-North American outlets, although no voltage convertors are typically needed for modern electronics.
If you're headed out of the country, make sure your plan works for the country you're visiting, or you could wind up with an enormous roaming bill.
Most carriers offer international plans, such as AT&T's International Day Pass, giving you all the features of your home plan for $12 a day.
Another option includes getting a local SIM card in the countries you're visiting, which may or may not be possible depending on your phone.
Many people around the world use WhatsApp for calls, texts, and video chats, which is free if you're on Wi-Fi.
