Does this phone support travelpass? my current expensive one(Samsung Galaxy s23 FE) bought from a Verizon store does not.
TravelPass eligibility is actually based on your account plan and international coverage settings, rather than your specific phone model. As long as your phone is global-ready and your domestic plan qualifies, you're able to use it. -Dee
