Traveling internationally with Verizon Wireless? Understanding your options for staying connected is key to avoiding unexpected charges and enjoying seamless communication. Whether you’re planning a short trip or an extended stay, Verizon offers several international travel plans designed to fit your needs. Let’s explore the best ways to use your Verizon phone abroad.
Explore Verizon TravelPass for Short Trips
For shorter trips, Verizon TravelPass is an excellent option. It allows you to use your existing domestic plan’s talk, text, and data while you’re traveling internationally for a daily fee. The best part? You only get charged on the days you actually use your phone outside the US.
- In Canada and Mexico, TravelPass is just $6 per day*, and it’s even included in many Unlimited and select Verizon plans.
- For travel to other countries around the world, the daily fee is $12.

The $100 International Monthly Plan for Extended Stays
If you’re planning a trip lasting 9 days or longer, Verizon’s $100 International Monthly Plan provides a more cost-effective solution. This plan is ideal for longer vacations or business trips, offering a robust package of features:
- Enjoy unlimited data* with 20 GB of high-speed data, then continue with unlimited data at 3G speeds.
- Stay in touch with unlimited text messaging.
- Make international calls with 250 minutes of included international calling*.
You can choose a one-month plan for a single trip or set it to renew monthly if you travel frequently. Discover more about this plan on the $100 International Monthly Plan page.
Stay Connected In-Flight and On Cruises
Verizon also offers specialized daily passes to keep you connected even while you’re in-flight or on a cruise ship. These passes ensure you don’t lose connectivity during these travel segments.
-
The Cruise Daily Pass is $30 per day per line and includes:
- 0.5 GB of data.
- 50 minutes of talk time.
- Unlimited texting.
-
The In-flight Daily Pass is priced at $20 per day per line, providing:

Avoid Pay-as-you-go Charges
Without an international plan, you’ll be subject to pay-as-you-go rates for calls, texts, and data. These charges can quickly become very expensive, so opting for a Verizon international plan is highly recommended to manage your travel expenses effectively.
Important Note on Dual SIM and Second Numbers
Do you use a device with Dual SIM or Second number features? If you utilize multiple numbers while traveling internationally, remember that international plan charges apply to each line individually based on the plan associated with that number.
For comprehensive coverage details and the most up-to-date pricing, always refer to the official Verizon International Travel page. Choosing the right Verizon international travel plan ensures you stay connected affordably and conveniently, wherever your travels take you.
* Important Usage Note: If over 50% of your talk, text, or data usage within a 60-day period is in Canada or Mexico, Verizon may remove or limit services in those countries. Please be mindful of your usage patterns.
