International day pass prices: Verizon TravelPass $12 a day, AT&T International Day Pass $12 with a 10-day cap per bill, T-Mobile $10 for 1 day

As of October 17, 2026, Verizon TravelPass costs $12 a day ($6 a day in Mexico and Canada), and AT&T International Day Pass costs $12 a day for the first line and $6 for each additional line used on the same day, with a cap of 10 daily fees per line per bill cycle. T-Mobile has no automatic daily fee: its plans include some roaming, and its one-time International Passes cost $10 for 1 day, $50 for 10 days and $75 for 30 days.

Figures above were read from Verizon's Important Plan Information, TravelPass FAQs and International Travel FAQs pages, AT&T's International Day Pass page and terms, and T-Mobile's International Pass and international plans pages on 2026-10-17. See sources.

Daily and monthly travel prices side by side

The three carriers sell travel in different units. Verizon and AT&T charge a fee for each 24-hour period you use the phone abroad. T-Mobile sells a pass for a fixed period that you buy in advance, on top of the roaming its plans already include.

Verizon TravelPass: $12 a day, $6 in Mexico and Canada

Verizon's Important Plan Information page says: "You'll pay $12/day only on days you use your mobile abroad." Its TravelPass FAQs give the second rate: "$6/day in Mexico and Canada." Verizon adds that calling, texting and data in Mexico and Canada are already included with its Unlimited mobile plans, so the $6 rate applies to lines whose plan does not include them.

The data allowance is 5 GB of high-speed data per session. The plan information page says: "After 5 GB of high-speed data, then unlimited data at 3G speeds for the remainder of the TravelPass session." The FAQs say a text offers an extra 2 GB of high-speed data in the same session for $5 in Mexico and Canada and $10 in other TravelPass countries.

TravelPass is added automatically to the Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Welcome plans. It cannot be added to Unlimited Ultimate: "TravelPass can't be added to Unlimited Ultimate because Unlimited Ultimate includes international data, talk and text." Verizon's plan information page puts the Unlimited Ultimate allowance at 15 GB a month of high-speed international data in 210+ countries, then speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps.

Verizon also lists a $100 International Monthly Plan, which it describes as ideal for trips of 9 days or longer, with 20 GB of high-speed data (then 3G speeds), unlimited text messaging and 250 minutes. Its FAQs say: "The $100 Monthly International plan automatically expires 30 days after it’s added unless you have chosen to renew it each month."

How Verizon counts a day

• A 24-hour session starts automatically the first time you make or answer a call, send a text or use data in a TravelPass country. Background data such as app refreshes and email syncing can start a session.
• Verizon texts you two hours after the session starts to say when it ends. "Using your device after that time starts a new session."
• Visiting two countries, or a layover, within one 24-hour session is charged once. Moving between countries with different daily fees is not: "If you travel to 2 countries with different TravelPass daily fees (e.g., Mexico to Italy, etc.) you're charged a new daily fee and a new TravelPass session starts."
• Verizon does not state a maximum number of TravelPass days per bill. Its FAQs say international data is automatically blocked when unbilled data usage reaches $500, and that "It could take up to 60 days for international travel charges to appear on your bill."

AT&T International Day Pass: $12 a day, capped at 10 fees per bill

AT&T's terms set the land price at $12 for each 24-hour period of use in more than 210 destinations, and $6 for each additional line on the same account used on the same calendar day. The cap is in the same terms: "There is a maximum charge of 10 daily fees per line in Destinations only, per monthly bill cycle." After the cap, AT&T says the line can keep using Day Pass in those destinations without more charges for the rest of the bill cycle.

For one line, 10 daily fees at $12 come to $120 per bill cycle (our arithmetic). The cap counts bill cycles, not trips, so a trip that crosses the end of a bill cycle can be charged in both cycles.

The cap does not apply at sea. Cruise use on more than 400 ships costs $20 for each 24-hour period, with no discount for extra lines, and the terms say: "Each line incurs a charge for all days used At Sea, no maximum applies". A day spent both at sea and on land is charged only the $20 fee.

How AT&T counts a day

• The first data use, call made or received, or text sent in a destination starts a 24-hour period and a $12 fee. "Received text messages are rated as domestic and do not trigger a daily fee."
• For the $6 additional-line rate, "The calendar date is determined by your local U.S. time zone, not the Destination visited."
• AT&T adds Day Pass to a line automatically if you use a compatible device abroad without another international feature, and sends a text when it does. The daily fees are charged on the bill at the end of the billing cycle.

AT&T plans that do not use Day Pass

On Mexico and Canada, the terms say: "No daily fee applies if your domestic plan includes these countries." AT&T's Unlimited plan terms list the United States, Mexico and Canada as the plans' data coverage area. The Day Pass terms also say customers on AT&T Premium 2.0, Unlimited Premium and Unlimited Elite pay no daily fee in included Latin America countries; AT&T's Latin America page names AT&T Premium 2.0 and AT&T Elite 2.0 and lists 20 countries.

AT&T Elite 2.0 includes unlimited talk, text and data in more than 190 destinations, with speeds reduced to a maximum of 512Kbps after 20GB of international data in a bill cycle. Its terms state: "International Day Pass not available with this plan."

T-Mobile: included roaming, plus 1-, 10- and 30-day passes

T-Mobile does not charge an automatic daily fee. Its current plan pages list roaming that is included with the plan: Experience Beyond 2.0 shows 30GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico and 15GB in 215+ countries and destinations, and Experience More 2.0 shows 15GB and 5GB. T-Mobile's international plans page says Essentials plans get texting and calling at $0.50 per minute abroad, and need an International Pass for high-speed data.

The passes, bought in the T-Life app or online, are:

• 1 Day: $10 for 2GB of high-speed data and unlimited calling, for up to 24 hours.
• 10 Day: $50 for 15GB of high-speed data and unlimited calling, for up to 10 days.
• 30 Day: $75 for 30GB of high-speed data and unlimited calling, for up to 30 days.

The terms on the pass page say "One active pass at a time." and "Activating a new pass ends the remaining benefits of the prior pass." For the 1-day pass they add: "Limit 2 passes per 24 hours." A pass starts immediately unless you choose a start date.

On Mexico and Canada, T-Mobile's international plans page says: "Calls, text and data in Canada and Mexico are not charged." In the other 215+ countries and destinations, texts are not charged and, without a pass: "Calls are charged at $0.50/minute."

Example trip costs

These totals are our arithmetic from the prices above, for one phone line, on land, inside one bill cycle, with the phone used every day. They leave out taxes and any usage beyond each option's limits.

Smartwatches and other non-phone lines abroad

AT&T's Day Pass terms exclude them: "Not available for wireless home phone services, connected vehicles, connected home devices, modems, routers, hotspots, wearables, or other connected devices." Verizon's plan information page says its smartwatch plans have no international roaming except Number Share plans in Canada and Mexico. Watch plan prices and their travel terms are on our smartwatch plan cost page.

Day Pass and TravelPass fees are charged on top of each carrier's monthly per-line fees, which are listed on our carrier fees per line page.

What we could not confirm

• A maximum number of Verizon TravelPass days per bill. We found none on Verizon's TravelPass FAQs, International Travel FAQs or Important Plan Information pages; the only limit we found is the automatic block at $500 of unbilled international data usage.
• Whether Verizon charges a reduced TravelPass fee for a second line used the same day. The pages above give one daily price and say a second number on one phone is charged separately.
• Which name AT&T uses for its Latin America plans. The Day Pass terms say "Unlimited Premium" and "Unlimited Elite" alongside AT&T Premium 2.0; the Latin America page names AT&T Premium 2.0 and AT&T Elite 2.0.
• T-Mobile's included roaming on every plan. Its international plans page gives up to 15GB in 215+ countries for Experience Beyond and Go5G Next in one answer, and "up to 30GB" depending on plan in another; the 30GB figure on the plan page is for Canada and Mexico.
• The full AT&T and Verizon country lists. Both say more than 210 destinations; we did not reproduce the lists.
