I don't really have a good answer. I would suspect it comes down to international roaming agreements. TRUE, they exist for postpaid, but I suspect prepaid is a bit different. IF the billing comes later, because of the CONTRACT, postpaid can collect. For prepaid, the calls can be made, the card balance goes to 0, and THEN the billing comes in -- so how do you collect and pay? How quickly do your roaming charges reduce your balance on your D2 prepay?
I BELIEVE T-MO USA is somewhat independent of the parent in Germany.
Have you seen that TO GO text rates are going up? 5 cents to receive and 35 to send internationally. I was astonished myself to learn recently that TO GO internation SMS was 10 cents.
