Same with Verizon: $10/day. But.... Story Time: I recently switched to Mint, and there is no international (outside of Canada and Mexico, I think?). So had to find a phone store when I recently went to Ireland, and they are a lot less ubiquitous than in their neighbor to the north and east (UK). I had to take a 10 minute walk down to the town centre where I expected the little grocer to have some sim cards, but he directed me down the road to a larger chain grocery. When they didn't have them, I was directed to another town, so then I had to hop on bus for a few kilometers to the next town that had an indoor shopping mall where there was a Vodafone store. All of this with no network connection because I had no sim card. I forgot how hard travel used to be.

> Same with Verizon: $10/day. Verizon's Travel Pass is $10 per instance, which can be more than once per day. A Travel Pass is active for up to 24 hours, but includes a limited amount of data, at which point you must purchase another one. Verizon Travel Pass also does not have a monthly maximum. Based on the link provided in the parallel thread, the AT&T offer is better than the Verizon Travel Pass. I had Verizon during a recent family vacation and ran into issues with this, which was one motivating factor for switching back to T-Mobile.

  GF and I went to Iceland in June. She's on Verizon, I am on T-Mobile. We entered Iceland airspace and I got a nice text from T-Mobile "Welcome to Iceland, enjoy your trip here's unlimited talk, text and data" My GF got "You are out of the US to use your device it's $20/day for talk, text and 1GB of data" By the end of the week trip, my cellphone bill was $10 more than normal. Her's was an additional $200.
