TL;DR Verizon-powered prepaid providers, Simple Mobile and Total Wireless, are introducing several travel-friendly perks across their plans.
The updated plans offer new international calling, texting, and roaming benefits, and in some cases, bundled streaming services.
Verizon will soon power new global connectivity options for prepaid customers of Simple Mobile and Total Wireless. Starting August 28, the two no-contract prepaid providers under Verizon’s Value portfolio of prepaid brands will offer new international calling, texting, and roaming benefits. Both brands operate on Verizon’s network.
The updated plans come as more Americans travel beyond traditional destinations like Canada, Mexico, and the UK.
