Going to Europe next week.

My wife and daughter won’t really need their phones, but I’d like them to be able to use them....just not enough to actually put them on my global plan for an extra $200 for the trip.

I had two ideas...

1) By them Orange SIM cards for the trip.

2) Sign up for Google Fi for a month.

Opinions? Both are priced about the same. Both work in the countries we’ll be in.

That’s what I did. Att even notifies you of the plan after landing.

Yep. And the Euro SIM card have a huge drawback. They change your phone number. So if @Fishy’s family wants to text everyone they know, like my daughter did in June, it’s not ideal. That worked better back when phones were mostly phones. My wife and Dana’s TMobile, which was only $5 .

I thought TMobile had free international data and texts?
