How to add a Freedom Mobile roaming plan to your phone
Below is a quick guide to getting and activating each Freedom Mobile roaming option. To use any of these plans, however, you must first enable International Roaming and International Calling in My Account:
Steps in My Account:
- Log in to My Account.
- Go to Manage Features.
- Turn on International Roaming and International Calling.
- Accept the terms and select Enable.
Once these features are active, you can manage your roaming plans and add-ons.
Roam Beyond plan
Roam Beyond plans are regular monthly mobile plans. You can either switch your current plan to a Roam Beyond plan or start a new one. Once active, your data, calls, and texts will work automatically in included destinations, and no additional activation is needed as long as roaming is enabled on your phone.
Roam Beyond Pass
After enabling roaming, go to Shop Add-Ons to purchase the Roam Beyond Pass you want. You can also contact Freedom Mobile’s customer care team to activate the pass for you.
Pay-per-use
If you don’t buy a Roam Beyond plan or pass, you can still use roaming with pay-per-use rates. Once roaming is enabled and you use your phone abroad, you’ll be charged only for the data, calls, or texts you use.
Freedom Mobile travel eSIM overview
Aside from getting a Freedom Mobile roaming plan, you can also consider getting a Freedom Mobile travel eSIM, especially if you just want to stay connected abroad.
Freedom Mobile’s Roam Beyond Travel Data eSIM keeps you connected in the same 120+ Roam Beyond destinations without needing a separate plan, contract, or credit check.
Each time you activate a new Freedom Mobile travel eSIM, there is a one-time $10 activation fee. If you think you’ll use a lot of data, this plan might not be enough. In that case, you could look into an unlimited data travel eSIM like Holafly.
Enjoy unlimited data anywhere with Holafly Plans
If you travel frequently, Holafly Plans give you unlimited data, unlimited hotspot access, a local number for SMS, and reliable 4G/5G coverage in over 170 countries. Plans start at $49.90 USD per month and include 1 GB free every month with Always On perks.
Holafly also offers short-term travel eSIMs with flexible plan durations and 24/7 customer support, so you can keep your plan as long as you want to and get help whenever you need it.
