How to Estimate International Call Costs While Traveling

International roaming calls can be surprisingly expensive. This calculator lets you enter the per-minute rate, per-call connection fee, average duration, and number of calls to see your estimated total bill before you travel.

US carrier international roaming rates typically range from $0.05–$2.00 per minute depending on the destination country. To save money, consider using Wi-Fi calling apps (WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Meet), buying a local SIM card, or renting a pocket Wi-Fi device and using internet-based calls.
