![]() Was just in UK, and the Tmob free international roaming worked fine - the phone showed 3g, and speeds seemed close to normal for maps, weather, etc. Certainly better than E or G speeds. I even called Tmob to make sure I was on Simple choice, and would get a bill shock!
only issue is not having local number, esp. when you call local people and they call back without checking. I can give them UK number that forwards, but people just return calls without checking, costing them dearly from their mobiles. |

![]() (sorry, make that "wouldn't get bill shock" on return - with reasonably fast 3G, I suspected I wasn't on the free roaming plan)

If you didn't get a warning text msg. about data roaming and got a msg. about hi-speed service being available for an extra charge - you won't get bill shock. Also, if you sign on to your account at my.t-mobile.com it will have a small banner "this account includes roaming in 100+ countries" (or words to that effect). 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. |

![]() I really enjoyed the PIN2DEST service of CallbackWorld when it was operating. It wouldn't solve the problem of people just returning your call without looking but it was really handy to be able to give someone a number that was free for them. I used to give the local access number and PIN to my crew-members when we were in a foreign port and tell them that they had no excuse for not checking in. It didn't mean that they'd check in, only that they had no excuse for not checking in.
