Global Pass
Global Pass provides 24 hours of unlimited calls, texts, and up to 2GB/day high-speed roaming data in more than 140 countries and territories!
| How it works | - In your Visible account, enable Autopay and Global Pass. - Upon arrival at your destination, a 24-hour Global Pass session will begin when your device initiates a connection to a compatible country’s cellular network – an SMS will be sent upon arrival in your destination country. - You’ll receive a notification letting you know that your Global Pass has successfully activated. - What activities trigger a connection? - Apps using/refreshing data in the background - Placing or receiving a call - Sending or receiving a text - After a Global Pass session ends, any further device connection to the foreign network will trigger another 24-hour Global Pass session and fee. - If you travel to more than one Global Pass-compatible country on the same day, you will be charged for a new 24-hour session once your device initiates another network connection. - Avoiding unwanted charges: - Keep your device’s airplane mode enabled until you’re ready for your Global Pass session to start. - Enable airplane mode before the active Global Pass session expires. - Alternatively, you can also go into your account via the app or a web browser and disable Global Pass (you can re-enable the feature later, when ready). - Calls may be placed from your destination country to phone numbers within that country OR to the U.S. while Global Pass is active for no additional charge. - Review the Global Pass terms & conditions for more information. |
