$100 a month for your cell phone? You need some Republic Wireless in your life.
My AT&T costs me $130/month for two phones.
My plan is 20$/month for one phone. Granted it is only 1GB of data but I rarely use even a fraction of that. The best things are wifi calling and seamless handoffs between wifi and cell.
Who do you use and what does it cost? What kind of travel restrictions do you have? and what is their home base?
I have no real travel restrictions. They piggy back off the Sprint network so it generally works. They also allowing roaming to the Verizon LTE network.
Limited to one country is a pretty major restriction.
True, I don't generally travel outside of the US. If I do I can always do calling over Wifi.
First time you can't call for a taxi or book a hotel in a foreign country because of your carrier you'll rethink that quickly.
Like I said I don't generally travel outside of the US. This is a non-issue for now. If I do I will investigate it then.
That screws a lot of travelers. Locked into expensive plans when it is too late to change. Been there. Never again.

Good thing I'm not on Verizon. I don't have a contract, and my costs are minimal. I could feasibly get a throw away phone when I'm in a different county.

AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all have the ability to move between counties but there are significant costs involved in that.
AT&T has the capability but not the plan.
Verizon and Sprint don't have the capability and require you to get another carrier and require that you have a phone from another network type to support it. Verizon needs you to get a Vodafone capable phone and a Vodafone account to do it. No different than not supporting it at all.
Really? I thought LTE was universal?

i wouldn't call that easy
Definitely not. With AT&T only do you get to keep your number when doing it. The others you need a new phone number for it to work!
At that point it is cheaper and easier to just buy a foreign SIM card.

LTE is a signally system and a lot of countries don't use it. That's 3G.

That's what essentially everyone on anything but TMobile does and i5/ crazy. None of your apps, none of your contacts and you get a new number with every SIM card.
It breaks all of the assumptions that Americans make about people not changing phone numbers.

Don't forget for those of us who never leave the US, T-Mobile coverage sucks pretty bad,.
At least it does around here, and I've never heard anyone say "my TMobile coverage is awesome".

I think you are saying that 3G is what a lot of countries do use, and that 3G Verizon/Sprint aren't compatible because they are CDMA instead of GSM - is that right?

Well, now I'm going to talk out the other side of my mouth and say - I don't need the phone access much if at all while traveling abroad, it's more about data. I wouldn't call people at home while traveling using traditional means - but I would have the problem where my family would not be able to call me in emergency cases, but they could and do use Facebook, etc instead.

It's for safety. You need people to be able to reach you in an emergency and vice versa. If you have no need of a number while traveling, do you need a phone at all? Why does you phone exist if at the moments of greatest logistical and support needs that you don't need it?

My phone is for emergencies. Someone going to a hospital, credit card getting stolen, needing a taxi. Things that I can't be without when traveling.
As far as time. I've many times seen it eat 2-4 hours for someone to deal with.

See, that's the opposite for me. I find the phone unreliable where I live so texting (via Google Voice/Hangouts) is generally more reliable. That may change overseas of course but around here Wifi is more accessible then a cell network. Although now that I can do Wifi calling it's not as much of an issue.

Right. Anyplace that I can get wifi OR a cell service I can get a call. So for emergencies it remains the best immediate way to reach me and email us the best non-immediate.

Boost Mobile 30/month for unlimited text and talk. 100+/month for a phone seems like a bigger waste of money than 275/month(avg Comcast bill) for cable.
