The landing page for International calling plans required a redesign due to a low completion rate of a primary user task, to select a plan and adding it to an account. Customers weren't able to do it without the help from customer service.

Problem statement:
used the 5 whys method
Verizon customers require a clear understanding of their international calling plan options, enabling them to seamlessly choose and add a plan into account, bypassing the need to contact customer service.
Ideation
Generated various ideas in during brainstorming sessions. It helped to think which content should be included, how to organize it, so it'll be easy to scan and compare.
Sketches
Our goal was to explore, create more ideas, to get the feedback and refine our concepts.
Final wireframes
Together, we identified two potential directions. We hypothesized that:
1) customers would seek international calling plans based on the duration of their trips.
2) customers would search based on the type of travel they engage in.
Concept 1: Based on trip duration
Concept 2: Based on type of travel
Validation
We conducted A/B testing with users via zoom to validate our hypothesis and understand, which one of our two versions works better. Based on the findings, I adopted concept 1 and transitioned to UI design.
