If you have ever traveled internationally, like to another continent...

One day I would like to travel to France.
Of course I am in America.

Anyways, for cell phone service, how does that work? I searched a bit on the web, a bunch of confusing stuff.

It seems to me that one would have to buy a local SIM card and of course service (hopefully they have pre-pay in France.)

OR, have to buy a whole different phone and service in the destination country.

Would just using one's phone over wifi, and using an app like whatsapp for calls and messages be the most practical option?

What would the best option(s) be?

I know that people often use virtual SIM but unfortunately not every phone supports that. I know that my brother had some problem with it last year in Asia or the USA so he just bought a local SIM.
