Hello folks,
I am a newbie to the forum. I have been visiting this site on a weekly basis for a very long time
. I always wanted to know if T-mobile pay as you go would actually fully function roaming oversees.
Well last year I visited Saudi Arabia with my same tmobile pay as you go sim card and the line never registered with any of the local carriers. This year i flew in for a few months and as I switched on my phone at the airport, 20 minutes later I get an SMS and a call from my brother in the states, texas to be exact. I was caught off guard that my phone registered to Mobily-Etisalat, which is one of the local carriers.
I also tried to register with STC (Saudi Telecom) and the sim worked. However, the rates were very high. I ended up using my local STC sim card in the Kingdom.
In addition to sharing this with you all, did tmobile change their roaming coverage for pay as you go?
