TMobile USA Now Has Some International Roaming on Prepaid
 

Only in Canada and Mexico, unfortunately, but this is not new.

Unless they've just changed something, the page you pointed to was about their international calling rates -- i.e., how much it costs to call these places from the U.S. I certainly wish they'd enable roaming, at the very minimum, on other TMO networks, but my U.S. card presently won't roam in Germany, and you'd think it would work in the T-Mobile homeland if it would work anywhere. Oh well...

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.

TMobile has updated its prepaid page:

There are many new offers. Note the international roaming link towards the bottom of the page.

Interesting!

The pay by the day plan is not bad at all. I am sure it will suite some people. The regular works for my minimal use as a backup. Especially since both of my cards are "Gold rewards"

The international roaming is still limited to Canada and mexico though. Hope they expand on that soon.

The pay-by-the-day plan is not eligible for Gold Rewards, so I assume this means you'd need to put $100 into it every year to keep it active. On the pay-as-you-go plan, once you've put $100 in you get Gold Rewards and you only need to put in $10 a year to keep it active.

I'm in Australia and have a t-mobile prepaid sim with me and I can confirm that it doesn't register with any network.
It would be nice if it did work down here but no go.
I don't know how the guy on Howard's Forum got it to work but I can't.

Thanks. I was beginning to wonder the same thing. The more and more I am looking at TMobile, the more I am wondering if Flexpay is the way to go with them. I'm going to pop by a Tmobile shop and take a look.

If you can get a TMobile Flexpay with unlimited internet and My Favs, it might prove real interesting.
