What's the difference between the Simple Choice plan and Simple Choice North America?
There have been several changes in the last few months:
The number of countries has been increasing. Several were added just in Sept. (One was Monenegro 7 days after we were there and spent about $15 for a 4 minute call.) Maybe some of the various subsidiary mentions of the total countries hasn't been changed.
Basic hi-speed data incl. has doubled from 1G to 2G.
For some dumb reason, if you are on plan that was established more than a few weeks ago -- you have to contact CS and ask them to add "NA Plan". NO price change. Those on the regular post paid Simple Plan have always had intl. roaming to 120 (now 140) countries included.
What is confusing is - TM uses the same names to describe different plans. They call various pre-paid plans "Simple".
The basic plan costs $50+$30+10+10 is you have 4 lines and now includes all I mentioned above.

Having the updated T-Mobile Plan I thought was the best thing to get, I was wrong (in my case). Because when i clicked on the button to add the Simple Choice North American Plan, the system was preparing to remove me from my previous plan (PLAN CHANGE) in which unfortunately would remove my Family Stateside International Plan that allows all of the voice lines on my account to have the ability to call internationally for only $10 per month. So if i had made the change and if i had wanted the International Calling Feature under the new Simple Choice North American Plan, i would then have to pay $15 per voice line as opposed to $10 for all voice lines. It was a no brainer to stick with what i had. 😎 And currently i have 5 voice lines all with the ability to call international for only $10 per month vs paying $75 dollars a month ($15 each per line) Im not a genius but im also no dummy lol

I am on same grandfathered plan and its the lowest with international calling at only 10 per month for all three lines . Found that calls from Canada to USA is charged which I thought would be free.
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/mobile-without-borders#heading4 says its free for most plans but seems not free for the old “simple Choice” plan
