We had the same issue with Pandora so we make sure to download playlists. Regarding wifi we have sort of a little of everything approach. We've had good luck with international plan from Verizon but don't want to pay for it on both phones. Being self employed I pay for it on my phone and we also set up the wifi that TMM provides for crew. Having both is mostly about peace of mind.
