FWIW, I've used Fi overseas in about a dozen different countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Service is usually better than in the U.S.

Phone calls I believe get a per minute charge, SMSs are free and data is exactly the same rate you pay in the U.S.

It's been flawless. Literally as easy as driving between states.

I've enjoyed it, but none of my SMS messages ever seem to be delivered while I'm overseas. I just fell back on over the top services and didn't worry about it, thought it was happening to everyone on those networks.

Now I'm dreading a support call...
