Travelmos: Sign Up With T-Mobile Just For Free International Data & Cancel?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 18th, 2018 3:29 PM Author: pale organic girlfriend fanboi going to 6 countries total on a trip. buying sim cards in each country at the airport is a little bit of a hassle.
tmobile has free intl 2D data in pretty much every country.
is it worth signing up for tmobile just for a month and then cancelling it? |
Date: September 18th, 2018 3:33 PM Author: well-lubricated free-loading cruise ship karate Or just keep the plan But honestly, roaming speeds always suck and if they are choking you off at 2G, you’ll be happy you spent 10 minutes getting a SIM card at the airport use an old phone or get a cheap 2nd phone for your travel SIMs so you still get messages or texts on your normal phone |

Date: September 18th, 2018 3:40 PM Author: pale organic girlfriend fanboi 10 mins getting a sim at the airport plus making sure ur not getting ripped off and checking 3-4 booths for prices = 30 mins.
i dont travel nearly enough to pay monthly for t-mobile in addition to my at&t. t-mobile sucks in the USA
2G is fine. just want to be able to what'sapp with drivers/guides, and poast on xo while pddj is in the bathroom. hotels all have wifi.
in foreign countries, i still get my imessages when i've got a foreign sim in my phone. i guess it's linked to my email/icloud account. but i guess green texting people cant text me? |

Date: September 18th, 2018 3:48 PM Author: well-lubricated free-loading cruise ship karate If that’s all you want it for then yeah this is a good option I have SIMs for a handful of places where I go regularly and where the credits don’t get swallowed up after like 28 days, and do data roaming for the rest. If someone wants to talk to me, I call their number via my skype account on wifi. |

what's the best way to call usa numbers over wifi? google voice used to let you do so, but they charge now. skype charges too. |

Date: September 18th, 2018 3:54 PM Author: well-lubricated free-loading cruise ship karate Wait, are we talking about 2 Gb of data, or choking speeds to limit them to 2G? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080569&forum_id=2#36834107) |

Date: September 20th, 2018 5:47 PM Author: onyx depressive school cafeteria how old is her phone?
tmobile added a shitton of new band support in the last 3 years, especially lower frequency bands that penetrate concrete.

|
Date: September 20th, 2018 8:24 PM Author: onyx depressive school cafeteria so you two have shit 5 year olds phones that dont support most newer VOLTE bands
anyone with an iphone 7 or 8 probably has fantastic tmobile coverage in the same house |
|
Date: September 20th, 2018 8:31 PM Author: pale organic girlfriend fanboi just buy a new $1000 phone hehe.
my 5s works perfectly fine with ios 9.3. the only problem is the battery is SPS and i need to buy a new one + return the old one |
|
Date: September 20th, 2018 8:34 PM Author: onyx depressive school cafeteria t-mobile gives you $100 to trade in your shit iphone 5s, so you're effectively getting Xr for $650
but jew do you. |

Date: September 20th, 2018 9:17 PM Author: stirring nursing home Get a used iPhone 6s or 7 and you will have all the bands you need for t-mobile.

Date: September 20th, 2018 8:36 PM Author: onyx depressive school cafeteria oh so the only problem is that apps can't update on your phone, so you lose out on all security updates or bug fixes so they crash all the time and don't work correctly? yeah that seems like a perfectly small problem (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080569&forum_id=2#36851598) |
