Verizon "UU" plan includes international coverage

Time of past OR future Camino
April 2025 CF
This thread is for those of you who are already using Verizon in the US. I see a couple other threads where this is mentioned, but this might be helpful for others on verizon using the search function. I was figuring I would get an Orange esim or similar when I arrive in Europe this coming March. Or, switch to T-Mobile. Or shell out the $100 for a month of international coverage. However, Verizon Wireless has a plan that includes international calls and text. I just got back from Japan, and the new-ish "Unlimited Ultimate" worked great there. Your mileage (and mine) may vary on the Camino, since it's not Japan.

This plan is about $55 per month. We were on an older plan that was about $5 less. So this was not "free" but I think we can downgrade our plan between international trips. Mrs NerdGjerd is in charge of the bills, and we are not real big on change. I've been using Verizon wireless since the 90s, through work. It used to have the best coverage where I worked, but I don't think that's true anymore. So i realized they're not perfect and by all means look to other companies if you are in the market. But if you want to keep your Verizon, this plan may be helpful, you will still be able to receive calls from folks back home when you want. I am planning to not be "hunched over" my phone during the Camino, but I like this availability to keep my number active for very little clams.
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
I just looked into this. Their website says $55 per line if you have four lines; $90 for one line. It includes 60 GB of data, 10 GB of international data (is it part of the 60 or an additional 10?).

Ahhh. We do have 4 lines…. So guess we’re getting a quantity discount paying for the adult kids haha. Not sure on the other details.

I read that the 60GB is for hotspot data, while domestic data is unlimited and international data is 10GB per billing cycle.
 
I took that hotspot data as total data since I never saw any plan with so much. I also took it to be total data because I expect a company to say unlimited data when they really mean a lot. Am I a cynic or realistic? That's a rhetorical question; I'm not looking for my personality to be shredded. ;)
