It worked very well in OSL. I did have to search to pick up Telenor. As soon as it registered, I got the T-Mobile text messages and such. Took some pictures and posted on Facebook with no problems. When the bus drove into Sweden, the transition was seamless.

Anyone have experience with using google maps with t-mobiles global coverage in mainland Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria)? Too slow, should I get a local GPS, etc...will be using it on an iPhone 5.
My only suggestion is to bring a spare battery. The anker mini model is small and adequate. |
Fantastic, thanks for the responses guys. I'll report back with results!

But do you get unlimited high-speed data or high-speed data within your US network cap?
|
I just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile because of the free international roaming. I'll be testing it out in Paris next month. Does it pay to purchase the high speed supplement or will the standard service suffice. I'll be using my phone for e-mail and web access, no streaming.

Simple Choice North America General Terms: Credit approval, deposit and $15 SIM starter kit may be required. If you switch plans you may be bound by existing term (including early termination provisions) and/or charged an up to $200 fee. Regulatory Programs Fee of $2.71 per line/month applies. Taxes approx. 6–28% of bill; add'l usage taxed in some countries. Additional charges apply for calls to other countries; calls rated on a per minute basis. Call forwarding only to U.S. numbers. Partial minutes/megabytes rounded up. Full speeds available up to monthly allotment, including tethering (Unlimited on-smartphone 4G LTE data option includes 7GB of tethering); then, slowed to up to 2G speeds for rest of billing cycle. Certain uses, e.g., some speed test apps, may not count against high-speed data allotment or have speeds reduced after allotment reached. U.S. roaming and on-network data allotments differ; see your selected service for details. Unlimited high-speed data customers who use an extremely high amount of data in a bill cycle will have their data usage de-prioritized compared to other customers for that bill cycle at locations and times when competing network demands occur, resulting in relatively slower speeds. See t-mobile.com/Openinternet for details. Not for extended international use; you must reside in the U.S. and primary usage must occur on our U.S. network. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming or misuse. Communications with premium-rate (e.g., 900, entertainment, high-rate helpline) numbers not included and may incur additional charges. |

What exactly does TMO mean by this? Is it on a per-line basis or on a per-account basis? I reside in the US but I've got an extra active SIM on an account that I primarily use overseas. Are they going to be unhappy with me or does the fact that I have additional active SIMs on the account that are used almost exclusively within the US c:confused:unteract this?
Set up a T-Mob account for intl data roaming as a Canadian in a US T-Mob store; no problem. (2013) 6 months later my phone number account was terminated due to not using the account in the US enough compared to the intl usage to qualify. The agent I talked to mentioned that according to their records my "SIM" has not locked onto any US towers enough times compared to my intl usage. |
Colombia and Panama added to Wiki
Added
Colombia: Telefonica Mobiles Colombia Panama: Digicel to the Wiki. Although this was with my Nexus tablet using a TMo simple choice plan for data roaming, it should hold true for voice roaming as well. My Project Fi SIM in my Nexus 6 also roamed on these and Google has built it's service using TMo's roaming agreements. |

My question is what are they going to do with the daily commuter. I have a friend who goes back and forth every day. She lives in Windsor Ontario, works in Sterling Heights Michigan and has one of those rare commuter green cards. She is going to have five days a week of US usage, two days and seven nights of Canadian usage. I also have a friend who lives in West Bloomfield Michigan and works as a Barrister every work day throughout Southwestern Ontario. Are they going to tolerate those people.
