This is annoying. Let's say you're an American who spends three consecutive months of the year abroad. It sounds like this means the plan could become unusable for you after the first two months of your time abroad?
Tmobile's int'l roaming plan, as well as GoogleFi, have similar limitations - it's meant for short int'l travel (1 month or so), not continuous or long term
many people do go longer without issues, but they don't use a lot of data (which defeats a big reason for these plans, but i guess its the only way to keep the same USA number that works via wifi calling)
there are some plans that allow you these persistent int'l roaming
- Fonus is one, but the history behind the company isn't that great
- Verizon's TravelPass plan only seems to restrict >50% in canada/mexico, doesnt say >50% int'l.... but that's pricey
- when overseas, do you need local calling, or do you just want to be reachable via your USA phone? alternative = iPhone have DSDV, you can receive calls over the data line of travel eSIM.... then get a travel eSIM
