Verizon- FAQ

How do I know if my smartphone has international capabilities?

Tips:

  • Use Wi-Fi where available. When using Wi-Fi, data usage won't count toward your allowance
  • You should also turn off the cellular data when you are not using your phone

Will my features, emails and apps (that use cellular data) be available when traveling outside the U.S.?

 

  • Features, emails, and apps are subject to local capabilities and may not be available while roaming internationally.

How do I make a call while traveling internationally?

Do I need to change any device settings to connect globally with my Global Phone or global data device?

How do I access Voice Mail while traveling internationally?
