Mrs. Majuki and I are headed to the Maldives for the first time next month, so the timing is perfect. As far as the calling charges, I don't mind the 5¢ increase, at least for my use cases. I have only placed phone calls overseas for things like coordinating with a driver pickup at the airport or confirming a dinner/event booking. I've spent under $5 since T-Mobile began the benefit in November 2013. For calls back home I will wait until I'm somewhere with a WiFi connection.
