PSA: Google Fi works transparently in almost every country (Tahiti/French Polynesia is the only exception I've experienced so far), and charges the same $10/gig everywhere I've been. If you travel a lot, it's a godsend. Also apparently gets around the great firewall in China, so I usually tethered even when wifi was available. Wonderful service overall, I highly recommend it.
- mmahemoff 10y agoFi is a nice option for for US residents. Beyond the roaming benefit, I don't think it achieves much in most of Europe and Asia anyway. That, combined with the history of Google Voice, means I don't see Fi going global anytime soon.) I have Three in UK and it does have decent free internet roaming in a lot of countries. The roaming is slow with not a hope of streaming media, but seems to have certain types of content like maps and mail whitelisted for fast access. It's useful but still requires getting a local sim for anything serious.
