Well if you got Verizon I feel for you, I just dropped my plan. It works fine until you 10gig of data runs out and then your phone is no more than a brick until next cycle or you spend stupid amounts of money just to get 2 extra gigs. Like people say there's wifi everywhere, so you can use WhatsApp, line heck even call on Facebook messenger. I got a Thai sim card but just for data and Thailand calls, international calls I use one of the above mentioned. Good luck
Apparently people can't read the original post. Never did I say anything about staying in the US. We would just be visiting so I can walk my daughter down the aisle when she gets married and so she can meet my family, and then we return here. We have a house, car, she doesn't work now as I do very well with my military retirement pay and can take care of everything
