Whoa, their international rates are crazy good. Same $10/gb across 120 countries. Even limited to 256k/3G, that is still insane. Coverage list here: https://

That's enough of a perk that I'm considering moving to a Nexus 6.
- cthalupa 12y agoOuch. I didn't notice that it's limited to 256k/3G. T-Mobile offers unlimited data internationally as part of their simple choice unlimited plan. It's limited to 256k speeds (Which in my experience, I have gotten basically exactly 256k when I've used it in the Netherlands and South Africa). You have the option of buying 4G speed bandwidth for a fairly reasonable price - though still a bit higher than the Google Fi data rates. I didn't notice the rate limiting asterisk until your comment, and this kind of kills it for me. It was much more appealing when I thought I would be charged the same for data in the US and abroad.

About 10-15x higher, it looks like. :/ Around $100-150/GB, depending on the pass length, e.g. 100MB usable in 24 hours for $15, or 500MB usable in 2 weeks for $50.
- cthalupa 12y agoOuch. I was completely misremembering the cost on the international data passes. I thought it was about $30/GB, but I have no idea where that came from. I suppose it's still better than Google - the rate limited data is still free, as opposed to paying full price for it, and nothing forces you to buy the full throughput data passes.
