Optimum Mobile dials up new international and roaming plans

Optimum Mobile has overhauled its international and roaming options, adding new "Travel Pass" plans aimed at customers who move between the US and other countries. The updated lineup is designed to give subscribers clearer choices and more predictable costs when using their phones abroad.

The new offers focus on bundled roaming access instead of one-off fees, so customers can pick a pass that matches their trip length and data needs. Optimum positions the changes as a response to growing demand for cross-border connectivity, especially for people who travel regularly but want to keep their existing mobile number and service.
