I signed up all my phones for travelpass but members of party intend to switch sim card in Israel. I want to be sure that won't be charged travelpass fee if using another sim car. Can someone confirm? Many thanks.

They can't charge you if you removed their sim

PSA - recently (or not so recently) verizon now throttles after 500mb per rolling 24 hour period. Just rent a local sim.

Think it has been a while, but it's still the most convenient option for a short trip especially if you are visiting a few countries on one trip

Or use Fi.

until you get stuck and your data is unusable... That's what happened to me.

Sorry for my ignorance, what’s Fi?
Just had the same issue while being in Israel and Verizon stopped working, I’m lucky I had offline google maps so I was able to get driving directions.

VZW now allows another 500 MB. for $10 so you don't get stuck.

Why give 10.00 per day to vzw when u can get better service for less money and support Jews....

Verizon message+ now supports voice calls too, it's far from perfect, but if you get a local sim with data, or are on wifi, you can call the US using your US number.

any updates to how Verizon Travel Pass works? They say no wifi calling - will be charged at international rates, so whatapp calling is out??

Whatsapp calling is fine.

If I turn on airplane mode and on Wi-Fi will they still charge?

TravelPass just got much better. Still $10/day, but:

-Now 2GB of 4G/5G data allowed per day, up from 0.5GB per day.
-Now throttles to 3G speeds instead of 2G speeds if you exceed the daily allowance.

For heavy data users, this can be cheaper than Fi now.

This is a game changer. The old plan was terrible if you needed to used Waze...
