I love my iphone! Photo cred: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivyfield/4735747431/sizes/l/
Every summer I go home to Portland and try to figure out how I can get an affordable plan for my iphone for the 30-45 days I’m home. I like to text, use the GPS function, and upload pics to Instagram.
I read about a cheap $10 plan here: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/10/11/our-new-10-00-per-month-iphone-plans/. This is probably my favorite personal finance blog so I trust the guy…but has anyone actually tried it?

Normally, I just go home and spend about $60 to use t-mobile for 30 days and remain phoneless the rest of the time…but the price difference of $5 US for unlimited usage in Venezuela to $60 for a very limited T-Mobile package always kills me!
How do other expats deal with their phones during the yearly trip home?

I worked for 5 weeks in the UK for the last few years. I just bought a pay as you go sim card – but Christ it hurt 😉 I’d go through 10 pounds in a couple of days on a crappy old phone I have spare! In LV, I spend less than €20 a month on my shiny smart phone!
