2 TopicsBest way to avoid roaming in Ireland and Scotland
My wife and Ihave two lines on Essentials, both using iPhone 14s. We'll bein Ireland and Scotland for about ten days and would like to avoid ANY roaming charges, but would still like to use our phones on wifi and text messaging. T-Mobile chat supportseemedto say that texting (assuming just SMS?) is free internationally, but it's not totally clear to me. I'm aware of the two blocking options available per line in settings (Block Charged International RoamingandBlock International Roaming (including Charged International Roaming)), both of which are a little on the confusing side; one chat agent said to use the first, the other said use the second.Huh? Which should be used to block incoming calls & voicemails but leave texting available? As far as voice calls, I'm assuming that forwarding both lines to Google Voice will allow for voicemails to be left for us without roaming. Is this correct? Would appreciate any other suggestions beyond what I've asked above!438Visto0likes1ComentarioT-Mobile Conditional Forwarding Fails. T-Mobile network reads my GV # as Invalid
I am following the steps correctly as have done with my other T-Mobile line. So the issue isn't the setup: Phone/Dialer -> Settings -> Supplementary services -> Call forwarding -> Always forward = Off Forward when busy = +1[Google Voice Number - including area code] Forward when unanswered = +1[Google Voice Number - including area code] Forward when unreachable = +1[Google Voice Number - including area code] I did several test calls, and when it transfers to the Google Voice number it hangs up immediately! I change the forwarding number to my other Google Voice Number (the one I use for my other T-Mobile line), make a few test calls, and it works perfectly! The calls were seamlessly sent to my GV voicemail, and the messages showed up immediately in the Google Voice app. I spent HOURS on the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they are telling me that the number shows as invalid in their system though they confirmed that the Google Voice number I am using IS valid and IS linked to my T-Mobile cell number. I already have my work Cisco voice number forwarded to my Google Voice number, and it works (rings though to the Google Voice app on my phone). So I am at a loss why T-Mobile's network reads my Google Voice number as "invalid". What can I do here??Solved3.3KViews0likes5Comentarios
