Can Your Prepaid Phone Roam Outside the Country?
US-based prepaid phones have various abilities for roaming in foreign countries.  Most are limited to Mexico and Canada, but there are a few that will work outside North America.  In most cases, prepaid phones can use Wi-Fi or a Data SIM that can also complete voice calls and text messages.

What to Do If Your Phone Doesn't Roam
There are several options to stay connected in a foreign country without obligating yourself to a new phone at your destination.  You can get a new SIM for your current phone, or you can acquire a roaming 'Travel' phone. Of course, a drastic move would be to change your wireless provider at home to gain better international roaming capabilities.  But it could be easy to make your own phone into an international traveler with a fresh, new SIM.  And a separate 'travel' phone just for foreign use could be a lot more affordable than you think.
