All in all, thus far, I would count T-Mobile's Simple Choice Plan roaming global data coverage as a WIN.
I had no issues with data in Mumbai, but in Trivandrum it was VERY problematic. IT would connect to voice providers but no data. On previous trips, I found that turning off LTE fixed the issue, no such luck this time. I'd estimate that my iPhone only had data about 10% of the time while in Trivandrum. Once I was back in Mumbai it worked like a charm again.
This service is still the #1 reason my family uses T-Mobile. We travel extensively internationally and this has been a lifesaver. I just wish they'd bump it up to 256k speeds like Google Fi.
