However, this plan also represents an additional option for those with a phone that has dual SIM capabilities. At $5 for 30 days to use just for texting and calling, and with the purchase of a lower-priced international SIM card for data, this could potentially save you a lot of money while traveling. To me, this definitely sounds like a perfect workaround for those who only require a limited amount of data, such as for pulling up directions or bus routes on Google Maps, while relying on their Mint Mobile plan for communicating with their loved ones when not on Wi-Fi.
The $5 price point for a 30-day period makes it one of the more affordable options available for talk and text focused international roaming. It will be interesting to see how this offering is received by users who find themselves in situations where data connectivity is not a primary concern, but the ability to make calls and send texts remains important.
