Staying connected abroad has always been one of the biggest pain points for travelers. Traditional roaming often comes with unpredictable costs, while prepaid plans have historically offered limited international coverage or expensive add-ons. Verizon Value, which manages leading prepaid brands like Simple Mobile and Total Wireless, is changing that narrative with a major expansion of its prepaid international services.
