Word of caution with T-Mobile. The other day I received a text from them:
This is from a 28 day trip to Europe in July. I called them to ask what constitutes “excessive use abroad” and the call rep wasn’t very specific. Looking online, as far as I could tell it’s >50% of international usage in a billing cycle.
I would think they should look over your usage in a calendar year or at least over a few months.
The fun part for me is that I’ll be roaming for almost another 4 weeks in September. I’m sure to be flagged again, at which point who knows what they will do.
Based on what I’ve read, they probably won’t cancel your account, but they might disable international data roaming.
I should also add that I pay extra for One+ that gives me double roaming speeds (256kb instead of 128kb).
This makes me somewhat annoyed. I wish that Google Fi supported iPhones. I’d rather pay for what I use and get faster speeds internationally.
The majority of the recent T-Mobile usage on line xxxxx has been roaming internationally. Per our terms and conditions roaming benefits are not intended for extensive use abroad. * You can use Wi-Fi to reduce your international usage. See details: t-mo.co/roaming
