How International Roaming Works
In order to use your GSM device while traveling outside of the U.S., the device must be compatible with a network frequency available in the country you are visiting. International carriers utilize the frequencies of 900 mHz and 1800 mHz. Domestic carriers utilize the frequencies of 850 mHz and 1900 mHz. To ensure your service will work, please contact Customer Care at 1-888-391-3925 before traveling abroad as certain restrictions apply.
While roaming internationally, you will be billed for all calls that go to your voicemail if your phone is turned on.
Choosing Your Device
For the best experience, we recommend using a Quad Band GSM phone for traveling overseas. If you currently do not have a multi-band device, take a moment to look at Cincinnati Bell's selection of worldwide phones.
