Despite everything else said, I’ve gotta say that there’s no better feeling than touching down in a new place, turning on your phone, and having it just work.

No stupid voip apps. No managing prepaid balances. No switching sims. Just direct dial and go.
Fi service is incredible for the mobile roaming alone and I’m not quite sure why nobody else can do it. I love it so much and it’s my favorite product. It makes a measurable positive impact in my life.
- rootusrootus 8y agoIs that not normal with other carriers? I've made multiple trips abroad and aside from an occasional delay of a few minutes, my phone just works wherever I go.
- walterbell 8y agoHow much do you pay for international data?
- ufo 8y agoFor many carriers the roaming costs are so outrageous you may as well pretend that it is not an option.
- bduerst 8y agoNot with major U.S. Carriers. Verizon & ATT nickle and dime you whenever they can, international travel not excluded.
- sandyhatches 8y agoYeah, this. We've been out of the US for a year now, works everywhere we've been (except Vietnam, though that worked out okay too because Hangouts has calls/text). Can't imagine having to hassle with a new sim every new country, esp with there being 5 of us.
- mcrae 8y agoI've thought about the idea of creating a 'global MVNO'. Like a plan with multiple foreign numbers being bound to one SIM, and being able to roam seamlessly and pay a fixed rate + reasonable usage fees. For example, someone in finance could have a UK and US number on a single SIM, and easily move back and forth. Or the same for KR and JP or US and MX. Not sure if there is a large enough market for that.
