It’s important to have data service while in Europe to receive all Musicians Abroad<\/a> communication throughout the tour. Read the international cellphone guide below for two convenient international data options.<\/p>\n

\n

International Data Options<\/h3>\n

International Phone Plans<\/h4>\n

Purchase an international plan through your phone carrier. Verizon offers a plan for $10\/day or $100\/mo. T-Mobile offers unlimited international calling for as low as $15\/mo with certain plans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prepaid eSIM Data Plan<\/h4>\n

Buy a prepaid eSIM data plan online to pair with the\u00a0SIM chip or eSIM already on your phone. All providers include fairly clear instructions on installing and adjusting the appropriate phone settings.<\/p>\n

This option can generally be more cost-effective. Two eSIM providers previous Musicians Abroad travelers have used successfully are Airalo and Holafly. Click here<\/a> for other options and more detailed information!<\/p>\n

\n

Supplemental Option<\/h3>\n

WhatsApp<\/h4>\n

All of Europe uses WhatsApp for communication. It is effective, free and easy to download on your phone. Have the people you want to communicate with while on tour also download the app. You can talk without being charged for minutes.<\/p>\n

Please note: WhatsApp is not a replacement for an international data plan as it requires data or WiFi.<\/p>\n
