Optimum Mobile shakes up international roaming with $35 weekly Travel Pass and new calling plans

Optimum has overhauled its international calling and roaming add-ons for Optimum Mobile, rolling out a $35-per-week “Travel Pass” for customers using data abroad. The company also launched monthly international calling plans at $5 and $15, available to both new and existing users. “We’re making it easier and more affordable than ever for our customers to connect globally,” said Mike Parker, Optimum’s president of consumer services. International add-ons have turned into a key factor in U.S. wireless churn, as carriers work to lock in customers by offering perks. Cable operators bundling mobile with home broadband make a straightforward case: a more affordable package, fewer incentives to switch, and no unexpected charges while traveling.
