International Day Pass – Stay connected when you travel

Traveling to Canada or Mexico? Click here to explore other plan options that include free calls, texts and data while roaming.

With an International Day Pass, it's easier than ever to stay connected when you travel. The International Day Pass provides unlimited talk, text and basic data with 2GB of high-speed data for $15 per day. The Day Pass renews every 24 hours until you return to the U.S. or unless you opt out while you're abroad. Without an International Day Pass, you can still use your phone for voice and text but you'll be charged the per-minute/per-message rate.

Before arriving at your destination, ensure that Data Roaming is turned on.

iOS Devices: Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Toggle Data Roaming On

Android Devices: Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Toggle Data Roaming On

Here's how the International Day Pass works:

Once you get to your international destination, turn on your device and disable Airplane Mode. Then, you'll get the following text messages.

Enable Data Roaming in your device's Cellular Settings and disable Airplane Mode in order to receive the Day Pass text messages.

If Data Roaming is already enabled, you'll get a text letting you know your C Spire Day Pass is active, along with instrucitons to opt out.

To make calls while outside of the U.S., dial the plus key, the country code, and the phone number. To call back to the U.S., dial +1 and the 10-digit number.

If Data Roaming is enabled on your device, you'll get another text message letting you know that your C Spire International Day Pass is now active.

The Day Pass will auto-renew each day you're in an international location until you return to the U.S. or until you opt out of it, and the daily charge will be billed to your account. You'll receive this text message when the Day Pass is activated and each time it renews.

This text message lets you know that your Day Pass is active and will renew daily for $15 per day until you return to the U.S. or you can opt out at any time by turning off Data Roaming.

If you don't want the International Day Pass, simply disable Data Roaming on your device. Please note that without the Day Pass, you'll be charged per-minute for voice calls and for every text message sent and received.

Don't want to buy an International Day Pass?

If you don't purchase an International Day Pass, you can still use your phone for voice and text but you'll be charged the per-minute/per-message rate.
