I have ATT and do the $10 a day thing.   It then uses whatever plan you have
in the USA for calls and data.   
I like to have a working phone and data.  
Make calls, send texts, use nav, all easy and no worries.

Subject: [AFMUG] International cell phone use

I know Chuck has been overseas and maybe some of you others have been
recently.   Last  time  I was overseas there were no cell phones.  I'm
trying to figure out my best option for cell phone usage.

So  far  looks  like  my best option is to get a data only sim and use
whatsapp.   That  seems  to be working fine for my daughter right now.
We are able to communicate with no issues.

When  I  connect to WiFi, I should be able to use WiFi calling with my
current  number  to  call  back  to the states if needed.  In the past using
WiFi calling, seems that texts will work also.

So,  here  is the crazy part.  If I get a data only SIM, there will be no
voice connection.  Almost like my phone being in airplane mode, but with
data  enabled.  Will the WiFi calling work on the data only plan?
Will  it  detect  I  have  data,  but  no  voice and fail over to WiFi
calling.

Anybody ever try this?
