How do I get my device ready to use outside the US?

Before you go, make sure your roaming is turned on in your device settings. This allows your device to connect to networks in other countries.

Visit our Device Troubleshooting Assistant to see instructions for your device.

  1. Enter your device in the search field under Filter (e.g., "Samsung" or "S24", etc.) and choose your device.
  2. Select Troubleshoot under the device's name on the device tile.
  3. In the Search Another Issue field, type "Turn data roaming on or off.". Follow the instructions for your device.

How am I charged for using my device when I travel abroad?

How you're charged depends on whether or not you add an international plan to your line for your trip.

Our international plans let you use your phone in more than 210 countries and destinations outside the US:

    • $6/day in Canada and Mexico* Included with all Unlimited and other select plans.
    • $12/day in other countries.

Good to know: Some devices may have 2 mobile numbers (e.g., Dual SIM, Second number). If you use both numbers when traveling internationally, charges apply per the international plan associated with each line.
