Then your phone will soon be in the past tense. I think most people either rent a phone while traveling or else they own a quad-band phone. Some TracFones like the W376 are triband so technically they do have the capability but my guess is TracFone prevents usage there by preventing the SIM from ever registering on the foreign network. Castrol EDGE 0W-20 is my drug of choice. Primary: iPhone 12 Pro eSIM;
