TM charges $50 for the first line, $30 for the 2nd line, and $10 a month for lines 3-5. Unlimited voice, text, and data. (Data is throttled after 500Mb but you can keep hi-speed data for xtra ($20?) a month.

When logging on in China (and later in Hong Kong) got following texts from TM:
1.
"Welcome to China. Unlimited text incl. with your global coverage. Talk $0.20/min. More info http://t-mo.co/tc
2.
"Wifi call charges are free to the U.S., $0.20/min. locally. To all other countries: long distance rates (as if originating from the U.S.) [comment: those rates are high. You can call other "Global Countries" for 20¢/min. via cell tower in roaming country.]
3.
"Unlimited web included as part of your global coverage. To purchase high speed data please visit: http:t-mo.co/4G-data


Please note those URLs give error messages even if you add a .com instead o just "co". TM is obviously having initial startup problems.

EDIT I CAN LOG IN by clicking on the URL in the text msg on my phone.


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.
