TMobile USA Now Has Some International Roaming on Prepaid
|
Only in Canada and Mexico, unfortunately, but this is not new.
http://www.t-mobile.com/Internationa..._RoamWorldwide 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?

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. |

TMobile has updated its prepaid page:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/d....mc_t=OnsiteAd There are many new offers. Note the international roaming link towards the bottom of the page. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/prepaidrates.aspx 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. |
