Second, when I mentioned to the rep we were next flying to the Maldives she strongly advised me not to turn the phone on, even after I told her I had been planning to use hotel Wifi. Why would that incur T-Mobile costs if it's on WiFi?
I would greatly appreciate anybody who can confirm whether she's right or wrong about that.
Maybe the concern was the iPhone doesn't support UMA/WiFi calling, so any calls you make would be charged pretty high rates.
