Global Plus is a $50 monthly bolt-on that gives a broad range of benefits for frequent international travelers. It continues the next billing month unless discontinued.
International Pass is similar but is a one shot deal which does not coincide with the billing month and does not auto-renew.
Were I an international flight crew member I’d get Global Plus.
Thank you very much. We're going to take a trip to the South Pacific for 25 days and I wasn't sure which one to use. Take care!

Check each island/country for their rate. Some Pacific Island countries are not part of T-Mobile’s 215+ cheap roaming destinations. Also, cruise ships and long-distance ferries are a whole other kettle of fish,
Thanks for the heads up i really appreciate it I was on Google Fi last winter through the Caribbean. Even though I had unlimited plus service it didn't work. I called their support people four times. They had to restart my phone every time they get it to work. I really didn't want to have to repeat that again

The only time T-Mobile international roaming has not worked for me was in Singapore when an undersea earthquake broke a transpacific cable which cut most data links between Singapore and the US. Other people have better or worse experiences. It’s good to have a backup. If your phone supports eSIM technology, there are various travel eSIM providers. This is one that I recently saw recommended. https://www.airalo.com
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it

Yes, Global Plus is “auto renew” and International Pass is “up to 30 days” only. But the question is if there is a difference in service. It’s looks to be the same IF, big IF, is “Mobile Hotspot” (IPass) means “Tethering” in Global Plus. That’s the confusing part . . . . TMobile describes it almost to be different in SERVICE by using Hotspot vs. Tethering.
Intl Pass: Includes up to 15GB of high-speed data, including Mobile Hotspot, PLUS unlimited calling for up to 30 days in over 210 destinations.
Global Plus: 15GB of up to 4G LTE data for your mobile device; Unlimited calling to and from your mobile device; Unlimited messaging to and from your mobile device; 5GB of up to 4G LTE tethering.

I think that tethering and hotspot are mean the same thing.
