For those who are planning to travel internationally, TravelPass from Verizon is a convenient way to stay connected while abroad, and is now available in over 100 countries. Call me if I can provide more details!
TravelPass lets customers use their existing voice and data plan outside of the U.S. for as little as $2 per day, per line* to talk, text, surf the web and more. The new survey is available on the Verizon News Center.
Travelers can also turn their phone into a Hotspot so the whole family can use Wi-Fi during trips!
To provide peace of mind while on vacation, Smart Home security devices (Canary, WeMo and Kevo) can help travelers monitor their home from their smartphone while traveling.
