Hi Sarah, that’s a great idea! You would need a specific deployment address. So it you don’t know anyone currently deployed, you could go through an organization like Troopster.org that donates care packages to deployed service members.

I don’t have any current family members in the military, but my brother recently retired after 8 years. Can I still send care packages to deployed soldiers, and if so how do I send them? I would love to create some care packages to send but I’m not sure how to get them to any members.

Hi Stefanie, glad this helps! The cell service really depends on the overseas location and what kind of job he has. Many people discontinue cell service (he can get it suspended for free with military orders) and just use apps like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc on the base wi-fi. He could also purchase a wi-fi puck to guarantee access.
If he needs cell service, shop around the different carriers and ask them specifically about the countries he will be in. Some have “overseas plans” that don’t include deployment locations. And be sure to ask about military discounts, because each carrier has a military friendly plan.

My son is only 17, soon to be 18, so I still strongly feel that need to provide and protect. One piece of information that haven’t come across is what is the best provider or method of providing cell phone service. He will be stationed overseas for at least 6 months once all of this training is over, and we currently have ATT cell service. From what I’ve been told, ATT is not the best cell carrier outside our region/state of Louisiana. Any information will be much appreciated and considered. I need something that provides good international service also.
