International Roaming in India
I am a TMO customer for last 10 months. I do substantial amount of international travel. I am currently in India and I took a Consumer Global Plus plan that gives you unlimited voice and 15 Gb of...
Indore is a city where T-Mobile's coverage map shows 3G or better service. Having said that, T-Mobile probably needs to have a team of engineers just to keep track of roaming issues in India.

There seems to be an almost constant litany of complaints about roaming in India. Just search this forum for "India" and you'll see what I mean.
T Mobile Unlimited cellular data worked nicely almost everywhere in Delhi and numerous villages, small and large cities of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal with iPhone 14 Pro in September and October 2022.
Received slow data, but good enough for Messages (text SMS), Email and WhatsApp. Occasionally, I had to switch off the iPhone and reboot it up to help it to re-login to the best signal cell tower.
Did not work in rare isolated exceptions in Raipur and Asansol. Worked in all airports I used in India.
No surprise shock bill charges by T Mobile after the trip. Yes, I have received the bill that covers the travel period in India, after returning back to the USA.
Slow speed data is therefore indeed included free by T Mobile in India, and for me, it worked nicely in the states mentioned above.
I have the Magenta Unlimited plan. I do not work for T Mobile, nor does anyone in my family or friends.
These were my phone options → Settings : Cellular → then Cellular Data : On (Green); Cellular Data Options : Roaming On; Personal Hotspot : Off. T-Mobile Turn On This Line : On (Green); Scrolled down and confirmed that all the desired Data-driven Apps were On (green).
