Could this be legit? I can buy $10 IoT 512kbps LTE from Tmobile business reseller. Tmobile does have throttled international data. Voice over data, rather than cellular voice, is possible.



Could this be scam? Voice over data is not practical globally due to jitter, latency and lack of QoS. Cellular voice globally is expensive. No TOS, no e911 disclaimer, no physical address listed. Hosted by WIX. Reddit for support forum. Not shipping from usa. No support number or email. Fine Print at the bottom of their website: "You agree that you will use the Site and any Content found on the Site solely for your personal, lawful purposes and that you shall not use any information contained in this Site or the links to this Site in any claims, proceedings, suits or actions against FONUS, its suppliers or affiliates."



Best guess, if not a scam, is this will get shut down by the carrier for unauthorized reselling of business plans. I've seen this first hand in the past, my sim kept working, but the seller was cut off from new activations. If this is voip, use caution, you may wake up one day and your number is gone. Gonna have a bad day when you get off the plane and find no service, and no way to get help.



Buy? Wait? Pass?



Hard pass. If you have ever traveled internationally and needed support from your cellular provider, you'll need to be able to contact them toll free globally, they'll need customer support who are multilingual, have global coverage maps and ability to get a replacement SIM in less than 30 days. If you have the money to travel internationally frequently enough to need a cellular plan for international calling and coverage, this is NOT even close to being a valid choice.



If you don't travel internationally very often, you are better off swapping sim cards when you get there.
