International Travel

CREDO Mobile makes it easy to stay connected when you’re traveling internationally. Make sure you have exactly what you need to keep in touch while you’re away from home. Keep in mind that CREDO offers talk and text service but does not offer data services while you’re abroad.

What you’ll need to get started

We recommend that you give yourself 48 hours prior to your departure to set up international use for your device. When you’re ready to set up international service with CREDO Mobile, be sure you have the following important pieces of information available:

• The country or countries you're visiting
  Rates and service availability depend on where you're traveling
• The model of phone you're using
  Voice, text and Wi-Fi will be available depending on the model of your phone
• Keep in mind
  CREDO does not provide cellular data service while traveling abroad. If your device supports Wi-Fi connections, you may connect to local Wi-Fi networks to access data. If you know you’ll need data while traveling, consider purchasing a local SIM card.

Setting up your device for international travel

Once you’ve determined service availability and your service needs while traveling, you can set up your device to be used internationally by logging in to Member Services. Keep in mind that you will need to setup each device for international traveling if you plan on bringing multiple devices abroad.

1. Login to Member Services

6. Review the cost of the items in your cart, then select Place Order
   

One last important note: Be sure to power cycle your phone at least 24 - 48 hours prior to leaving for your destination to ensure that international service works properly.
