Hi Ben-

Amazing...almost a year to the day since the last post on this- and it was from me! I get the feeling there are maybe a handful of us left with the grandfathered international unlimited plan. I've inquired at two ATT stores and both times was told I need a new sim and a new plan. I still feel as I did a year ago...I've rather have LTE (or at least 3G) all over the world than 5G but only in the US. But they do make it hard. I wanted to add an extra line for my elderly Mom...nope...not with our grandfathered plan. Personal Hotspot would be nice too...but nope...not with our grandfathered plan. ATT is really not interested in worldwide data plans. I've looked at T-Mobile, but hard to imagine their included 2g 256 kbps international roaming would be anything but infuriating.

Anyhow I'll sure post if I learn anything!

Cheers!
