Does it charge at 20cents a minute or does it show up as free since you have the unlimited international calling plan?
I'll add a reminder from the problem I outlined up-thread. I thought I was safe on hotel wifi in the Maldives (a country not on the list) when I saw T-Mobile wifi displayed on the phone.

However, T-Mobile charged me as if I were using the Maldivian system. They kindly refunded my several-hundred dollar bill and confirmed that the way around that issue would be to use Skype or some similar calling program on wifi when in "outlier" countries.

A quick FWIW on the chance it's useful info for anybody.
