T-Mobile International Pass
I have a OnePlus Unlimited 55+ plan, and will be heading to Portugal and Spain. Prior to the pandemic, I found the data roaming speed (2/3G) there barely sufficient for my use. I'm considering getting an International Pass for this trip, and would appreciate comments.

What does "high-speed international data" mean? I asked at a store if it means 5G, 4G, etc., and the staff had no clue. Also, are there still 2/3G networks in those two countries?
Thanks in advance.

I always get a data pass when traveling to Europe - I'm on OnePlus Unlimited. Last year in Europe, coverage was typically LTE (4g) and, on occasion 5g. I expect that 5g coverage will get better over time. the data pass does make things far more usable.

My experience with the included int'l roaming mirrored OP's -- barely usable. The data pass gives you something much closer to what you are used to at home. It won't be quite native speeds but it will be eminently usable.

Before you buy the data pass, check to see if your One Plus plan already has Simple Global Data included. T-mobile added free 5GB high speed data free for some of their plans a while back. I have T-Mobile One plan and I got it.

I have a ONE plan from 2017, and it has ONE Plus Promo included. I have added 3 more free voice lines since then. The new free lines did not automatically pick up the Promo, but I had it added successfully by T- Force and an overseas 611 rep. I am currently traveling and using a spare, free voice line in an iPad Mini 6, getting the high speed 5Gb data roaming in that device. Yesterday I clocked over 100Mbps on the island of Martinique with it!

I get an International Pass whenever I go to Europe, and have had great luck with the service in France, the Netherlands, Italy and the UK. My old and cheap T-Mobile plan only includes useless, snail-slow data in those countries, so it's been well worth the cost.

I need to purchase an International Pass. Do they automatically charge the credit card on file or does it prompt for a payment method? I want to pay this on my corporate card, but I'd rather not add the corporate card to my account as the default payment method if I don't have it.

I believe it's auto-charged. At least on the app, you need to first select a phone line , which would already have a payment method tied to it..As soon as you select the pass under Manage Add-Ons, it will take you to a page where you "Agree and Submit" with no other option to use another card.

I would think that it doesn't immediately charge to a card. It just add that item to your next bill. When your next bill cycle ends, the international pass charge will be one of the item on the list. Then if your autopay will pay it. Not sure you could itemize it out and pay it on its own. If you buy a phone, then you pay it separately, but adding a service would be charged to the monthly bill I think.

Thanks. I did purchase it and I think Need is correct in that the charge actually appears on the next bill. I purchased via the app and it did give me a screen that said "International Pass $50 One-time charge to your bill" and after I hit the agree and pay button, it gave me a "Thank You, Pass now active" confirmation, so I combined those two screenshots together for a make shift receipt and I'll just mark it as a 'cash' transaction since work doesn't cover my regular cell service.
My statement finally issued. It was $50 + taxes/fees, so that was another ~9%.

Quick question. I have used the 1-week pass in Europe twice now without issue. I am going on a cruise that calls at a port in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and Jamacia. I don't need the 10-day pass. Wanted to know if I could active 3 separate 1-day passes for the 3 days we will be in those ports. I know the app lets you pick a future date so would like to have this done before we depart. Thanks.
