Unlimited free calls on 15GB/30 Days International Data Pass and Wi-Fi Calling
I was told by a retail sales rep at a T-Mobile retail store today that unlimited free calls to/from/within Simple Global countries on International Data Pass only works on Wi-Fi Calling and that with...
WiFi calling is thru data line, not voice line. So it should be totally free (this depends on your plan too, if you have unlimited calling within the U.S.)
I was traveling and working remotely around the globe for last 10 years (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Maldives...etc) Never receive any charge on Wifi Calling. There is one time I was on the phone for over 4 hours!
But be aware that iPhone sometimes dropped out from Wifi Calling connection. There were couple times before I try to make the call, I noticed my U.S. number's signal didn't say 'T-mobile Wifi Calling' at the end. I had to turn off/on Wifi connection on the phone and wait till it registered the Wifi Calling.
International Data Pass only works within T-Mobile's 210+ Simple Global Countries. So unless the calls are coming in through one of the Simple Global countries (see list of countries https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/international-roaming-services), you will be charged at international roaming rate.
T-Mobile has a site where you can check for Cruise coverage (https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/international-roaming-plans/cruises). If the cruise liner is covered under your T-Mobile Plan, it will show the appropriate rates for text, data and phone calls. Hope this helps.
