Hello designandsing,
Jamaica definitely sounds like a wonderful time! I know it's important to stay in touch with friends and family when you're traveling. I can definitely clarify the details for you. Please allow me to explain that when travelling, your charges do depend on where you are physically located when you use your phone. So, if you are in another country, or on a cruise ship, you are using the service of international carriers. To answer your question, TravelPass would be triggered if sending messages to each other, while located in Jamaica.
You're only charged for the days that you use your device in aTravelPass country. A 24-hour TravelPass session starts automatically when you make or receive a phone call, send a text or use data.
If your device has cellular data or data roaming turned on, a TravelPass session can be started by background data, including:
- App content refreshing (e.g., Weather apps, Fitness Tracker)
- Syncing (e.g., email)
- Device or app software updates
2 hours after the session starts we send you a text letting you know when your 24-hour TravelPass session ends. Using your device after that session starts a new session.

Please allow me to explain that we offer TravelPass, as well as monthly international plans, and "Pay As You Go" rates. The best option for you would depend on your usage. We have a great video that helps you get prepared for international use. It shows you how to estimate your usage, so you can decide which option is best for you. In addition, it gives you information on what to expect, as well as how to get your device ready for travel. Check it out at the following link, and don't forget to click on the "Trip Planner Tool" link, at the bottom of the page: http://spr.ly/6181EbgUz Please let me know your thoughts, thank you.
