TMobile USA Now Has Some International Roaming on Prepaid

[Stu]

On Howard's Forum one poster swears it work (albeit expensively) in Australia. I see where you are getting the Canada & Mexico from. Does anyone out there have a US prepaid TMobile SIM out there in Euroland that they can see if it registers?

Well yes, I do. I just tried both of mine here (931 and 212, both Gold Rewards with lots of credit, both registered with my.t-mobile.com) in Germany and neither one worked.

However, I did notice that on https://my.t-mobile.com/Plan/ there's a new mention of "International access" -- and while it only lists the same old calling rates from the US and the roaming rates for Canada and Mexico, the description "T-Mobile provides you access to the world’s largest international wireless community" does seem filled with a certain amount of promise.

I certainly hope so -- while I'd probably never use it to place calls within Europe, the ability to receive calls at my U.S. number overseas would be very helpful.

It doesn't work in Austria either.
