Now in Hong Kong for wkend, skype, wechat, line, whatsapp all work, along with emails. Homescreen shows 3G full bars but skype connection at airport not very clear. Line call to Mrs. while on airportexpress was also spotty, better when i got to island.
Update- TMO free data on Moto g more reliable than smart tone 3G/lte on my iPhone 5s (vz CDMA model). Skype and Line drop on 5s but solid with G. Not sure if hardware or bandwidth.....
Second update - tethering with moto G on TMO n/a, whereas with using post paid 3g on 5s is fine....typing update on ipad tethering off 5s. Strange???
In Taiwan try Chunghua - Taiwan Mobile works also but is flaky to do initial registration when connecting. FarEasTone is not supported.
On VZ 5S I recall coworkers reporting same on verizon accounts. Roaming was slow - wondering if firmware isn't HSPAP and is basic HSPDA
