Americans Abroad

and I have added an International Day Pass to my plan. They charge $12 a day for use up to a maximum of $120 a month in addition to your usual fees. My phone works just like I was in Boston. I can call or text and others can call or text me. My reception is fantastic. I usually pay about $225 to $250 a month for my total package, and I've used it every month for 2 years.

Using the phone to call other Filipinos from the Philippines is difficult for me, only because I'm not that tech. savvy.

Depending on your son's carrier, there must be a similar plan for him.
