I'd suggest you test out the coverage first. Especially out side of major metropolitan areas, tmobile does not have anywhere near the coverage that AT&T has. Buy a prepaid sim and see if it works for you where you need it.

Let me start by saying: I love ATT in the US. That being said, their international data plans are a joke. I ended up unlocking my phone because it's easier/cheaper to use SIMs than to pay for text ($30), data ($60), and call ($30).
Regions I travel to often: Sicily, Netherlands, SE Asia, S. America.
Travel coming up: Egypt, Thailand, potentially Iran.
Anyone have experience switching from ATT to T Mobile? Any specific issues?
My main concern is I'd be losing my grandfathered status for unlimited domestic data....
EDITS:
1) Phone: iPhone 5S
2) Not obsessed with "fast" data...just need basics, i.e. email, iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and occasional web browsing. Every so often I need to use Google Maps....
