I am travelling in Central America and a friend there has suggested I can use the Whatssup app to communicate with her...if I use data while outside of the US do I get charged or is it covered under the regular monthly data?  Thank you.

If you don't have an international roaming plan, the data will be very expensive at $2,050 per GB.  You can turn on airplane mode and use free wifi to use WhatsApp for now cost. Or you can activate TravelPass for $10 per day on your Verizon account and use your regular plan while traveling -- if the country you are in is included on the TravelPass covered countries.
