Depending on your destination, there are a few ways to ensure you stay connected while traveling outside the US. Some of these include looking into international SIM cards and buying short-term internet packages from local carriers. International SIM cards provide access to data networks in many countries around the world and can be purchased from various providers prior to departure. Additionally, travelers often have the option of purchasing short-term internet plans or WiFi packages from local carriers at their destination for more limited use during their trip. Finally, if you're staying somewhere long term, consider investing in an international router that allows multiple devices to connect simultaneously over a private network—whether it's through 3G/4G mobile data or wireless hotspots.
