Re: TMobile used to be great
If TM (or ATT or Vz) were the best for everyone they would have close to 100% of the business. I agree that in recent times the price diff. has narrowed quite a bit, especially if you only have 1 or 2 lines. We have had Netflix since it was offered. We only make moderate use of it. We wouldn't make any use of the new Disney+ channel. There is now an over abundance of streaming TV to watch w. Prime et al. For us the free intl. roaming has been worth $$ over the years. Since we are only (95%+) in major U.S. areas rarely have coverage problems. For you sounds like TM doesn't cover your area well enuf for you. Where are you located? I'm surprised wifi isn't working for you. I thought the Netflix promo was still offered.5Visto1like0ComentariosRe: TMobile used to be great
I've been w.TM since before they were TM. They were first w. wifi calling. First w. free intl. roaming years ago. (Don't think ATT or Vz. has that yet.) First w.o. locked in contracts. True their rates now aren't the bargain they used to was. Those of us who are on old plans really have bargains. We have 8 lines that total under $200/mo. 6 of the lines don't cost more than $10 because they get $10 kickback for not using more than 2G of data. That plan went 2 or 3 years ago.3Visto1like0ComentariosWould like to hear comments from people who have used either the international "Global Pass" or "Data Pass"
These are similar products, but seem to have slight differences. Here is what I got, from CS: === From TM CS: === Hi Mike, Thank you for reaching out to T-Mobile Care. I would be more than happy to go over the feature details that are included with the data pass recently added. Below I have listed the features that come included with an international data pass and global plus feature. Please advise which feature best fit your request, we'd be more than happy to make the change. International Roaming Data Pass-$50- 15GB(International data roaming global passes provide an international high-speed data connection and unlimited voice calling for countries listed in the Simple Global Country List. Available in 512MB, 5GB, and 15GB allotments): High-speed data while roaming outside North America* (choose data allotment below) Unlimited $0 calling from Simple Global to Simple Global countries (including the U.S. and Puerto Rico) Includes Smartphone Mobile Hotspot access up to data pass allotment. === Global Plus 15 GB feature-$50 (provides extra travelling benefits on top of what you're already getting when you have a Magenta or T-Mobile ONE plan). 15GB high-speed data while roaming in Simple Global countries 5GB high-speed, international tethering in Simple Global countries 5GB high-speed data while roaming in Canada and Mexico Unlimited texting and calling at $0.00 per minute in and between 210+ countries and destinations Stateside International Talk and Text Unlimited 4G LTE Smartphone Mobile Hotspot in the U.S. Unlimited HD video streaming (must be activated via T-Mobile app or My T-Mobile) domestic and abroad in 210+ countries and destinations Gogo in-flight all flight long (unlimited flights/sessions) Gogo-enabled domestic flights Name ID & Voicemail to Text If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out. === === Unless I am missing something, "Global Pass" doesn't offer intl. tethering like "Data Pass" when overseas. Global seems offer international calling from the US. We use Google voice for that. Both offer, it appears, international calling for free when overseas. === === Would like to receive comments from people who will actually use one of these services.2.5KViews0likes6ComentariosRe: Overseas Travel: How can I avoid incoming call costs but still use free text/data roaming while abroad?
I have never used the "do not disturb" option on the phone. When we go overseas we simply set "forward all calls" to VM number. (805-637-7243). He has worked for years when traveling to over a dozen countries. For outgoing calls, you can make free calls back to the US women on Wi-Fi. Incoming calls, of course, are free women on Wi-Fi. I think many users make use of apps the route calls over data-but I have never done that. Text and data are free if you're on a regular TM plan.4Visto0likes0Comentarios
