Temporary unlock while traveling abroad

Why doesn’t Xfinity allow temporary device unlocks for international travel like T-Mobile and AT&T do? With the network lock in place, I can’t use a local SIM card for data abroad, which would avoid the high costs of a global plan. What are my options?

user_qpzt2b Our Global Travel Pass sounds like it would be the best option for you! Here is a link https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/global-travel-pass to where you can get more information about that.

Seriously? You think the Global Travel Pass is really the best option? I’m actively traveling, and 512MB of data doesn’t last a day when I’m on the go constantly. Plus, $10 a day for 45 days adds up fast. I’m getting a local prepaid SIM in each country with 2GB of data per day for just $1.30 a day.

user_qpzt2b That's Xfinity Mobiles option when traveling internationally. Here is another great link https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/my-account/international where you can select where you're going, and see the rates for that area.
