TM doesn't have as many licenses as ATT and not nearly the bandwidth in areas where they do have licenses. ATT has both 1900 and the original 800 (850) licenses. T-M's forrerunners came into the game when there were only 1900 licenses available. That was why it was essential for T-M to bid for 1700 licenses when that opened up.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
