TGarza and others on this forum have a lot of experience with the IMS function for iPhones, and I can also testify about it's simplicity and reliable performance. I have personally used it for a few years while traveling, and it works quite well. It can be set up while in the US if you have access to two different lines on any carriers. I suggest you practice the setup a few times while home to establish a comfort level prior to travel. It can be left set for literally weeks without issue, and is one of the best features of a dual sim, dual standby iPhone. While traveling with T-Mobile as my primary voice line, IMS calls register as a WiFi Call in my account manager. These are "Free" of roaming charges. You also can call a US number anywhere in the world for free, as the function sees it as being two US users, both Stateside.
