Pay as You Go

Before you use your device while traveling, make sure your device's roaming is turned on. Roaming must be on so your device can connect to cellular networks in your destination country.

For instructions to turn roaming on and off:

• Visit Let's Troubleshoot Your Devices.
• Enter your device in the search field under Filter (e.g., “Samsung” or “S23”, etc.) and choose your device.
• Select Troubleshoot under the device’s name on the device tile.
• In the Search Another Issue field, type “Turn data roaming on or off.” Follow the instructions for your device.

To add an international travel plan* for use in 210+ countries and destinations you can either:

1. On your international page in My Verizon, select Add new plan.
2. You can add TravelPass by texting the word TRAVEL to 4004.

*TravelPass is automatically added to your line with our Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Welcome plans. TravelPass can't be added to Unlimited Ultimate because Unlimited Ultimate includes international data, talk and text.
