Good Tru News:: AT&T now working in USA

There aren't any regional carriers i know of in Wa., Or. or Calif. There are vast geographic areas where no one has service. All the major hiways are covered, and all cities of any size.

When I first noted AT&T, if phones, were turned off, would go back to AT&T when turned off and back on even if they were on T-Mobile. Now, most of the time, If they are on AT&T, they will go to T-Mobile when turned back on.

This probably means that the SIM has an embedded PRL. It might allow you to select T-Mobile in an area where there is no AT&T service. If it is a multi-IMSI SIM and it sees one of its IMSI net numbers it will take on the ATT identity and will be restricted by their roaming table. Probably based on the LAC of the cells it sees.

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.
