Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions! I use Verizon Wireless and they have a plan similar to what people have described for ATT, T-Moble etc, tho getting that info wasn't easy.

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: 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.
