International Roaming

Traveling should be effortless, and staying connected should be too. With SmartLess Mobile, you get 100 inbound and outbound SMS messages at no extra cost when roaming internationally. For calls, data, maps, apps, and everything else, simply add a Travel Pass - no surprise charges, no complicated rules. 

What’s included when you travel 

Included for free with every plan 

  • 100 total SMS (inbound + outbound) while roaming internationally 

Requires a Travel Pass

  • Data (internet, apps, streaming, GPS/maps etc.) 

  • Calling (including checking voicemail) 

  • Additional texting beyond the included 100 SMS 

  • Visual Voicemail downloads 

If you want to use your phone normally while traveling, adding a Travel Pass is the way to go. 

Travel Passes: Stay connected abroad

Travel Passes activate immediately and give full coverage for talk, text, and data in supported countries. You can buy multiple passes to combine data and extend coverage to the latest expiration date. 

Example: 
If you buy a 3-day / 2 GB pass on Jan 1 and a 7-day pass on Jan 3, all of your roaming access will last until Jan 9.

Voicemail while traveling 

A few things to know when you’re traveling: 

  • Calling voicemail (press + holding 1) uses roaming talk minutes 

  • Visual Voicemail uses data — so you’ll likely want a Travel Pass 

  • Incoming calls that go to voicemail count as a 1-minute roaming call if your phone is on 

If your phone is off, voicemail deposits do not count until your device reconnects to a network. 

WiFi calling while abroad 

If you have access to WiFi, WiFi Calling is a great way to stay in touch without using roaming talk minutes. You’ll be able to call and text just like you’re at home, depending on local network availability. 

You’re ready to roam

With 100 free SMS included and flexible Travel Passes for everything else, traveling internationally with SmartLess Mobile is simple, predictable, and fully in your control.
