International Travel - true or false - DANGER $$

[dencar]

I have the Global Travel Pass and use it all the time for $10 / day, in places like Italy, UK etc.,

I am also signed up for International Call the World (which drops rate for example to call the UK for free for first 1000 mins, then about 0.07c / landlines etc.,

I get all this fine. I'm been on it for over a year. But Verizon are confused. I have been told two things;

1.  2 people at Verizon told me that, even with BOTH of the above, if I'm in Italy, then call someone in Italy then I would be charged $1.49 / minute or more.

AND

2.  I have just read this clear response from Verizon, on the forums that says, ALL of my US plans follow  on the Travel Pass and because I am on the Call the world plan, If I call from Italy to Italy it should consume my 1000 minutes first and then drop to 0.07c *AND* if I am in Italy and call the UK, it will cost $1.49. Link here ;  Re: International Travel plan

Either 1 or 2 is right but this reply from Verizon is Contradicting one of them, Who is right and who is wrong and WHERE is this CLEARLY explained on the Verizon web site. Re: International Travel plan

The words from Verizon here ; Hello Traveler88! Allow me to further clarify for you. The $5 plan is a monthly cost and is only available to add for your needs to call Europe from the US. This will then reduce the costs per minute to $0.07 to landline numbers and $0.36 per minute to mobile numbers while in Italy. You can find all of the cost options here for your travel needs: http://spr.ly/6581BIQKL In my opinion, the $10 TravelPass feature is one of the most cost effective plan options.

Thanks.

Neither 1 or 2 is correct.

if you have $10 travelpass on your account, there is no cost to call the same country you are in or the US. Any other country is according to what long distance plan you have in effect as if you were calling from the US

Correct Weth. TravelPass is $10/day for local calls (to the country you are in) and international calls to the US are covered. Calls to another country are NOT covered. Long distance charges will take effect.
