AT&T does still have a monthly international plan for $30 or $60 a month depending on how much data allowance you want. However, they do not advertise it because they want you to sign up for their $10/day plan. But if you ask, you can get the cheaper plan. I used it for a 2 week trip in Greece last year and went just slightly over the $60 plan because I was using Google Maps every day to get around. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 3/4/18, Rich Roth <webmaster at hidden-tech.net> wrote: Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] How to remain connected when traveling to Europe To: jeremywise at readingsuccesslab.com, "Hidden-Tech Tech" <hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> Date: Sunday, March 4, 2018, 1:05 PM We've done a fair bit of traveling in the last few years. Our phones are on t-mobile and we just have to activate international service, no extra charge on our plan. For ipads, we use AT&T and they have a monthly international service on the pay as you go option, I think it was $30/month -- although warning their north america is really USA - does NOT include Canada, no idea about Mexico. As for as hotel access, now a days, most hotels everywhere provide free or cheap wifi. Even free in many public places -- for example, check out http://wifi.paris.fr Also, note that using an american credit card, still required a signature, even though EU cards needed a pin. That is for charges - ATM all need pins, same as USA Happy Trails - Rich On 3/4/2018 4:25 PM, Jeremy Wise wrote: #yiv7005738004 #yiv7005738004 -- _filtered #yiv7005738004 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv7005738004 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} #yiv7005738004 #yiv7005738004 p.yiv7005738004MsoNormal, #yiv7005738004 li.yiv7005738004MsoNormal, #yiv7005738004 div.yiv7005738004MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;} #yiv7005738004 a:link, #yiv7005738004 span.yiv7005738004MsoHyperlink {color:#0563C1;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv7005738004 a:visited, #yiv7005738004 span.yiv7005738004MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:#954F72;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv7005738004 span.yiv7005738004EmailStyle17 {color:windowtext;} #yiv7005738004 .yiv7005738004MsoChpDefault {} _filtered #yiv7005738004 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv7005738004 div.yiv7005738004WordSection1 {} #yiv7005738004 Does anyone have experience maintaining secure, reliable internet access while traveling abroad in Europe. In the US I have a cell plan where my phone is my hotspot and anywhere I go here allows me to connect seamlessly so long as there is decent cell service. I am hoping to replicate this in Europe.
