Using my phone in Mexico
I am a T-Mobile subscriber and I am wondering if I can use my phone when I am in Cancun, Mexico next week? If so, when I am calling back to the US from Mexico, do I need to input an international code in front of the number I am calling and will I use the '1' before the number? Thank you...Neil Blincow (neilblincow@gmail.com or 310 266 9546)
Using my phone in the Philippines
I'm on the Magenta Max 55 plan and will be traveling to the Philippines later this month. I see a lot of confusing and contradictory information about costs and coverage while I'm there. In some places TMobile says the Philippines aren't covered, in some places it says it is. Will there be fees for voice, text or data while in the Philippines? Are there limits on voice, text or data? Will buying an International Pass make any difference? And if you can point me to where I can find these questions answered clearly I'd really appreciate it. Thank you. -Brian
International roaming / India - has issues
I have international roaming available as part of plan, but phone won't connect to internet. I am currently in a city called Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. The phone connects to a strong signal from Vodafone - India (and shows all bars are up on signal anywhere in city). But, when i try to start up chrome browser, it immediately shows "NO INTERNET". Has been consistently doing it for past few days that i have been here. The obvious checks (Mobile data, Data roaming, Network operator etc) have all been checked. So, i am starting to think that vodafone india is throttling or cheating Tmobile on their end of the deal. If not, how can tmobile give me data service here ? I need to get this working soon, since i will be india for a while…..currently, i am getting by only on wifi connects.Traveling to Japan
I will be traveling to Japan to visit my son in the Navy for two weeks this summer. I know can rent the wifi hotspots at the airport or get the international SIM card. My phone is currently locked. I have a Samsung and went in the settings and was able to a temporary unlock for it looks like 30 days. My question is how often can I do that? Is the best course of action to get the international SIM card when I arrive in Japan. Can I still make and receive calls at my number? I have never traveled internationally, outside of Canada, so I have no experience with this, but we plan to use our phones for translating, converting money, and using Google Maps. How much is it to get coverage through T-Mobile for Japan? What does it cover and is it worth it? Thanks in advance!!
International Roaming - Not connecting
I can't get international roaming to connect to the internet even though all my settings are correct. We have unlimited data and texting, internationally. I have a feeling T Mobile is blocking my number from roaming but they can't figure it out. My wife on the same plan has working roaming - Any suggestions? T mobile cusomer care or technical could not resolve the issue - it's as though they are not recognizing my number, associated with the plan…
