Original article, June 27, 2024 (04:56 AM ET): Roaming functionality is one of the most important features for travelers, allowing users to stay connected without switching to a local SIM card or eSIM. Unfortunately, it looks like international roaming is down for loads of US carrier subscribers.

Social media users and Redditors have reported that international roaming is down for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon users. Users are facing a lot of connectivity issues and are unable to access calls, texts, and data with varying results.

The outage doesnt seem to be exclusive to one country or region, either. Users have reported issues in the likes of China, Colombia, Egypt, various European countries, Kenya, and Mexico.

Weve asked AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon for a statement on the outage and its cause. Well update the article as soon as these companies get back to us.

In the meantime, you might want to buy a local SIM or try an international eSIM service like Airalo for your international data needs.
