Is turning off data roaming enough?
Hello. I have an iPhone 14, with the capability of dual eSIM. I am going to be living overseas for approximately 10 months but would like to keep my T-Mobile plan and number active for ease when I return. I have already been informed that if over 50% of your data usage is overseas for about a 2 month period, you will get pinged for excessive roaming and will be warned that your plan will get cancelled if it continues. I've also been told that simply not using the data overseas could potentially help you fly under the radar and not get pinged. I just got myself a eSIM for european data, and then turned off data roaming on the T-Mobile eSIM. This way I still receive calls and texts from my US number when connected to wifi, but according to what the phone says it won't use data or cell signal from the T-Mobile card. However, when I check my phone's signal it still shows that the T-Mobile card is connecting to cell towers in my area even with roaming turned off. Is having roaming turned off a sufficient way to ensure I don't use any data on that card, or is it still going to ping me for excessive roaming after some period of time? Gracias.2.2KViews0likes3ComentariosRe: Temporary International Move
I get that they aren’t designed for that specifically, I’m just asking to see if there are any feasible options such as purchasing back to back international passes, temporarily suspending my line and picking it back up when I return so that I can keep the same number, etc.101Visto0likes0ComentariosTemporary International Move
Hello, my wife and I both have T-Mobile and we've temporarily moved out of the US to finish my schooling. We will be gone for about 10 months. With our plan we have unlimited data and text internationally, with the stipulation that "no excessive roaming" is allowed. I can't find a definition of what excessive roaming is, so I'm curious about how long we have until we get cut off. I would also like to know if there is any way for us to keep our current lines/phone numbers for the duration of our time overseas, even if it involves paying extra.Solved1.8KViews0likes5Comentarios
