Can I roam internationally with Xfinity Mobile?
Xfinity Mobile allows its customers to roam internationally in over 200 destinations.

If you meet these requirements, you should call (888) 936-4968 and international roaming will be enabled for your account.

Is calling to Mexico and Canada free with Xfinity Mobile?
Calling to Mexico and Canada is not free. However, you can purchase the Mexico and Canada Call Pass, which allows you to make unlimited calls from the United States to numbers in Mexico and Canada for $10 (US Dollars) a month.
To enable the Mexico and Canada Call Pass, you have to log into your Xfinity Mobile account and go to Data Details. From there, you can add the pass to your line. Now, your calls to your friends in Mexico and Canada at a set monthly rate.
Currently, the Mexico and Canada Call Pass is only available to phones. Attempting to call from an Apple Watch to a Mexican or Canadian number will result in getting charged under international rates.
The pass stays active until you remove it. Then, it will remain active for the remainder of your current billing cycle.
The Mexico and Canada Call Pass would be worth it if you are certain to call to Mexico and Canada for more than 333 minutes (5:33 hours) within a billing cycle. Else, you would be overpaying for the pass.

Is roaming with Xfinity Mobile worth it?
Roaming can be affordable if done in moderation. Phone roaming rates range from $0.10/min to $10/min (Micronesia). Data roaming fees start at $0.10/MB to $30/MB (Djibouti).
As always, I discourage data roaming on As-You-Go rates, as they can be incredible, like Djibouti. Roaming in Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, and Micronesia deserve mention too, as you will be charged $20/MB there.
Regarding texting, I like the fact that texting has a flat rate of $0.10 regardless of the destination (unless it is not supported by Xfinity Mobile). Even then, texting should be done with caution to prevent bill shock.
Finally, making phone calls while abroad. For the majority of destinations (59%), you will not be paying more than $1/min. For 79% of the destinations, you will not pay more than $2/min.
As long you are not going to have phone calls lasting half an hour, you will be fine with an incidental call here and there.
If you think it is too much of a hassle to keep track of your usage, consider getting a local SIM card or an international SIM card like OneSimCard, SimOptions, Surfroam, BNESIM, or SimCorner. I recently made a post comparing the most popular international sims out there. Check it out now!
To what destinations can I call to from within the US with Xfinity Mobile?
Xfinity Mobile users can call to 209 destinations ranging from $0.03/min to $2.00/min depending on the destination. You do not have to enable any setting to call internationally.
Notes:
1. All prices are in US Dollars per minute
2. Calling to and from Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands is free.

Is making international phone calls worth it with Xfinity Mobile?
International phone calls start from $0.03/min (Canada and Mexico) up to $2.00 (Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Curacao, and Togo). As always, it depends on how much and how long you intend on calling numbers abroad.
For example, calling a friend in Kazakhstan for 15 minutes would cost you $7.5 ($0.5/min). Not too bad – you would probably spend more on lunch. However, the same call to Saba would be $30 ($2.00/min). Worth it? Depends on how deep your pockets are ;)
As always, I would prefer using internet-based apps to call internationally with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Skype.
