All is good (albeit slow) except I keep getting text messages that I have reached ($50, 100, 200) worth of international roaming. T-mobile's help line assures me I'm not being charged, as I'm in a covered country, but this is really weird (and a bit disconcerting as the amounts go up and up). Has anyone experienced this before? T-mobile can't tell me why I am getting these texts.... figured you guys might be more helpful than the help desk!
When I'm roaming in a covered country the only messages I've gotten are the welcome message as I enter the country that *I think* includes a statement that I'm being covered by the Global package (I apparently deleted all of them as I can't find one). This is followed by a message offering me an upgrade to unlimited data.
I've never gotten those warnings since my plan changed. You might want to check your T-Mobile bill to be sure you don't have charges.
