TMO CS is usually pretty knowledgeable and helpful, maybe you didn't frame your questions or quoted here out of context.

1. First, I assume you're addressing calls/txt when overseas - either to international or stateside mobile numbers?

2. I am not familiar with any TMO plan that permits unlimited text when overseas - I do know there is a $5/month plan -- whereby you can text from states to international mobile phones. Also I'm not familiar with any program or plan that "supports calling/SMS over WiFi" [except UMA as described #3 below].

3. If the G2 is now configured for UMA calling [I read this was slowly being done OTA], then if you are on wifi connection, calls made to stateside number do not incur international roaming but may come out of your bucket of minutes [unless you have a grandfathered plan, $9.99/month, unlimited UMA calls]
