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
For $65 per month, it provides 100GB of premium data, 50GB of hotspot use, international data in more than 200 countries, and several Google benefits.
Taxes cost extra, 480p video limits domestic viewing quality, and the price approaches major-carrier territory without broad retail support.
Best premium international value
Where one of US Mobile’s available networks is strong locally, Unlimited Premium combines unlimited priority data and hotspot use with 20GB of international data and included taxes for a $299 first-year annual prepayment for new lines, with renewal at the then-current full price.
The first-year price requires full prepayment, renewal costs may rise, and international availability must be checked for each destination.
Best full-service carrier option
Where T-Mobile’s network is strong locally, Experience More pairs unlimited premium phone data with 60GB of hotspot use, 5GB of data in more than 215 countries, major streaming benefits, and retail support for $90 per month before taxes and fees.
The $90 single-line price is high before taxes and fees, and T-Mobile coverage can be less dependable in some rural or remote areas.
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.
Its premium price excludes taxes and buys fewer extras than the strongest competing premium plans.
Best budget option for international calling
For $19 per month, it combines 4GB of data with unlimited calling and texting to more than 90 countries and free roaming in Mexico and Canada.
Taxes cost extra, and 4GB leaves little room for regular cellular streaming or other data-heavy use.
Best light-use calling option
Where T-Mobile coverage is reliable locally, Tello’s $10 monthly plan is an excellent Wi-Fi-first choice with 2GB of data, the full 2GB available for hotspot use, unlimited talk and text, and no long prepayment commitment.
Cellular data stops after the 2GB allowance, and service depends entirely on local T-Mobile coverage.
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.
