What phone carriers do you use internationally, I'm planning

AT&T is one of the best abroad actually. I don't remember the cost, but if you call and ask they will sell you 'international' packs for a month or two that will let you piggy back off local networks in areas where they don't cover.

I like AT&T just fine in terms of coverage, but I find it a bit overpriced. (I'm the ideal customer in the sense that I just stick with it because I'm lazy--I've used AT&T in dozens of countries across Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe).

If your phone is unlocked, buying prepaid local SIMs is easy and cheap enough almost everywhere, but you will of course have to get used to having a bunch of new local phone numbers as you travel.

T-Mobile
no extra charge for roaming -- no charge for data or text -- voice is .20 cents a minute

seconding Deutsche Telekom but my setup period with them was a little wonky

no one else I know has had issues, maybe because I brought the number in from one of their MVNOs

Be sure you can use your cell phone during deployments abroad and not just your email!

Just buy a local SIM card
