Current plans for frequent travel, international data, calling, texting, and flexible network choice.
Reviewed
Google Fi Unlimited Premium is our current pick for frequent international travel. US Mobile Premium offers lower first-year pricing and network choice, while T-Mobile and AT&T provide full-service carrier alternatives at much higher monthly prices.

Best for frequent international travel
We pick Google Fi Unlimited Premium for travelers with dependable local T-Mobile coverage because its $65 monthly plan includes 100GB of high-speed data, 50GB of hotspot use, and data service in more than 200 countries.
The $65 price excludes taxes, video is limited to 480p, and the advertised promotion expired before this review date.
Best premium international value
We pick US Mobile Unlimited Premium where at least one of its selectable networks performs well locally because the $299 first-year annual price includes taxes, unlimited priority data, 50GB to 100GB of high-speed hotspot use, 20GB of international data, and network-switching flexibility, though renewal is at the full price.
The introductory price requires $299 upfront, renews at the full price, and provides different hotspot allowances depending on the selected network.
Best full-service carrier option
We pick T-Mobile Experience More where T-Mobile coverage is strong because its $90 monthly price buys unrestricted phone data, 60GB of high-speed hotspot use, substantial international data, 4K video, and bundled entertainment benefits without an annual prepayment.
The $90 price excludes taxes, and uneven local or rural coverage can undermine the value.
Best AT&T travel option
The $90 monthly plan combines unlimited premium data, 100GB of hotspot use, 4K streaming, and service in 20 Latin American countries.
Taxes are additional, and the high price is hard to justify for anyone who will not regularly use its hotspot or international benefits.
Best budget option for international calling
For $19 per month, it includes 4GB of high-speed data, hotspot use from that allowance, and unlimited calling to more than 90 countries.
Taxes cost extra, video is limited to 480p, and 4GB can disappear quickly away from Wi-Fi.
Best light-use calling option
We pick Tello’s 2GB Plan for Wi-Fi-heavy users with strong local T-Mobile coverage because it provides unlimited talk and text, 2GB of phone or hotspot data, and a flexible 30-day cycle for $10 per month.
Taxes cost extra, and the 2GB allowance is too small for frequent streaming or other substantial cellular use.
Start with coverage where you use your phone most, then compare the complete bill, high-speed data, hotspot limits, prepayment, taxes, eligibility, and support. SaveOnPhone lists the full market, and payment never determines our recommendations.
