(Unless things have changed—when I had T-Mobile, you had to pay extra for international 4G)
- karanke 8y agoThis is correct. Out of curiosity, have you required 4G while roaming? For maps, music and Uber 3G worked just fine for me in the UK and India.
- atombender 8y agoI'm in Europe every year, and the T-Mobile 3G speeds are unbearably slow. I switch out my SIM for a (much cheaper!) EU SIM card after arriving. Note that with T-Mobile's roaming, you're still on the 4G/LTE network. It's just that they throttle you to 3G speeds. At least it's better than it was 2-3 years ago, when they actually limited your phone to EDGE (!).
- Someone1234 8y agoIt is still the case: > When you travel abroad in 210+ countries and destinations you will have unlimited data at up to 128kbps [...]. If you frequently travel internationally and require a higher speed you can add T-Mobile One Plus™ and get up to 256kbps speeds abroad for $15/mo. For full disclosure their "One Plus" offering does include other things: - HD streaming. - 20GB of 4G LTE mobile hotspot data. - Unlimited in-flight Wi-Fi. - Voicemail to Text. So you can debate if Fi (international 4G) or T-Mobile w/One Plus (in-flight Wi-Fi) is superior for international travel.
