Following is an email message from my TMO Biz rep:
"T-Mobile just announced Simple Global with unlimited international messaging and 2G data for free in over 100 countries (that covers 95% of our international traffic). The voice roaming is a flat rate of $.20 each in all of those countries. This can save you thousands on roaming. However, this free and included feature is only available on our new Simple Choice plans, but they are better than the old ones. There are options for additional 4G data overseas.
The new Simple Choice plans are:
$40 unlimited voice minutes
$35 600 minutes
$30 300 minutes
$25 100 minutes
All plans include unlimited messaging and unlimited 2G data (with 500MB of 4G data). Hotspot/tethering is also included. Lines on BES has a $5 premium. You can stack all of them except the unlimited... meaning you can pool voice minutes and share among numbers in your account.
If you need more 4G data you can have 2.5 GB for $10 (smartphone) or $15 (BES) or 4.5 GB for $20 (smartphone) or $25 (BES). Hotspot/tethering is also included. Or we have unlimited 4G data for smartphone use with 2.5GB of hotspot for $20/$25. The same unlimited 4G data with 4.5GB of hotspot is $10 more and $20 more with 6.5 GB. These options would be mostly for iPhones, Android, and BB10 as they use more data.
Unlimited messaging is included in these plans both domestic and internationally. "
My bill will now get lower... on top of the Corporate discount through my employer.
