Hello all,

Just a quick question about travelling abroad. We are going to Holland, Switzerland, Germany, and finally France. Our cell plan includes -

Simple Global (texting and data abroad)

 
 
Stay connected with unlimited texting and data at up to 256kbps speeds in 210+ countries and destinations.

I just want to assure my mother (who is on our plan) that we can text and make calls through Facebook messenger without incurring costs to our monthly bill. Am I interpreting our plan correctly?

Thanks so much for your help.

Texts are no problem. VoIP apps (Messenger, FaceTime, Google Voice, Skype, etc) depend on your data connection, which will normally be fast enough for voice but not for video. No guarantees on that. You are roaming on another carrier, after all. If you plan to use Google Maps, learn about how to download offline maps when you are on WiFi and you should be OK.
