That's what I like - it works not just in the country you are visiting, but a country you might be connecting through. No more hunting for Wifi in airports!

I'm with AT&T right now with an iPhone 5s... This just might be enough for me to bite the bullet and pay the ETF to get out of my still wet inked contract to switch to T-Mobile.
You have a 14 day return period, so you might still be within that.

Wonder if that works
It looks like you need to be in the US about half of the time, I read somewhere the phone must register in the US (turned on and used essentially) at least once every six weeks and six weeks total every 3 months.
