T-Mobile is no longer selling the cheaper Simple Choice plans which start at $50 a month.

Instead, you're forced to take the "unlimited" data plans which have limited tethering.

Existing subscribers of the older Simple Choice plans are grandfathered in.

The "unlimited" plans start at $70 but if you want full tethering, it's supposedly more like $95.

That's a lot to pay for access to international data.

If they try to force me to "upgrade" to the "unlimited" plans when I change my phone, I'll probably bail. The unlimited international data is nice but pay $30 more a month for this BS?

Better to buy local SIMs at that point, unless they give you full-speed international roaming or at least regular promos of full-speed.

Even then, you're talking about $360-420 more a year, since "unlimited" data is pretty useless if you can't tether all of it.
