How to keep it working
On Verizon Prepaid, TravelPass lets an eligible line use its talk, text and data in 140+ countries, including China, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan, for $12 a day (Mexico and Canada $6), charged only on the days the line is used abroad. The first 5 GB each day is high-speed and the rest runs at 3G speed. It is not available on data-only plans. Keeping the number: Verizon's terms say that if the plan is not renewed and no funds are added within 60 days, the account is cancelled and the funds are forfeited; its support pages add that a suspended line with no activity for 90 days has its number disabled and its account closed. Renew or add funds before then.
