I’m considering the Global Access plan and wanted to clarify how international texting works. From what I understand, World Mobile offers global coverage, but does that mean you can send and receive international text messages without extra charges?
I often spend weeks overseas, and while I don’t necessarily need to send texts, I want to make sure I can receive them without unexpected fees.
Anyone using World Mobile who can confirm how this works? Appreciate any insights—thanks in advance!
Just to clarify, the Global Access plan is data-only, which means it doesn’t include traditional SMS texting, you won’t receive standard text messages. Instead, you’ll need to use over-the-top apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or other messaging services to send and receive messages.
If you’re using an iPhone, iMessage is a great option because it works over your data connection (or WiFi), so you’ll still be able to send and receive messages without any extra fees. Essentially, all your international messaging is handled via data, so there are no additional charges for texts.
