Traveling internationally, I have a global data plan but was under the impression that if my hotel had WiFi I could use it without depleting my global data plan allowance of 100MB. However, when I started viewing some online videos, I  notice that my 100MB data allowance was being used. Can I truly use WiFi outside the US without depleting my 100MB allowance?

You can certainly use WiFi outside the USA without using any global data allotment GMG001! Just make sure to disable data when you are connected to a WiFi network. See this link http://vz.to/1uQilxH for instructions.

The best way to ensure that you use wifi and not cellular data is to TURN OFF the cellular data connection. Even better keep the phone in airplane mode for your entire international trip.
