Traveling in Mexico recently, I was informed that my Verizon plan included unlimited International calling and texting. Three days into my two week trip, Verizon discontinued my cell service until I could provide them with an actual photo of my personal Social Security card! I explained that I did not bring my Social Security card with me to Mexico but they refused to reinstate my plan. My wife and I spent the next ten days of our vacation in Mexico without Verizon mobile cell service. Traveling internationally, reliable cell service is critical for safety, security, and communication comfort. Beware of Verizon’s international calling even if it’s included in your plan. Verizon can discontinue mobile cell service at any time no matter where you are.
