Hi I am here waiting for question 🙂 🙂 

Hi everyone,

The session is now open for and the experts are standing by to answer any of your questions!

Ask away... and stay tunes for some quizzes and prizes!

Hey @adidaskid808,

Welcome! It's good to have you with us.

hello, wondering on the logistics of the international day pass.  if i am out of the country for a number of days will my account automatically be billed for each day the phone cell service is turned on or how does that work.  e.g. if i want to use the cell phone camera only for a day can i turn off cellular service and not be billed the day pass rate?

Let me keep the ball rolling.
If you're travel internationally,try and get yourself a cheap unlocked phone that will work locally.
Bad people are everywhere.
You don't like your IPhone X or Samsung S9+ stolen while on holiday.

Hi David,

International Day Pass' 24-Hour access will begin when a call is made or received, a message is sent, or data is used.

@adidaskid808

Thanks for your response

i hear you there, but if i buy a cheap phone over there then i will be bringing an expensive camera so its apparently either my phone or camera being stolen 😞   final question:  data or whatever is used on the day pass comes out of my regular plan correct, it is not unlimited..

Cell phone are easy target to get stolen.
Second hand market are everywhere for cell phones.
Some Asia counties got people sitting on the street with billboard buying this type of phones for cash.

Hi @david.9

It's very close, but not quite it, there is a feature by a similar name that's included in some plans, but the plan is called something else. You can still try again;)

Dmitriy

I am on $65 prepaid unlimited plan that allow you to use data up to 22GB LTE and unlimited phone calls & text in USA,Canada and Mexico for 30 days.
