T-Mobile's prepaid plans allow voice and text (SMS, not MMS) roaming, but there's no data roaming.How do the prepaid plans treat voice and data roaming?
Assume you can't roam and be pleasantly surprised if / when you can.
I'm planning to get the $30 T-mobile plan ( 100 Minutes and Unlimited Data and Text) but my worry is what if my minutes exceeds 100, is there an app or someway to make free calls using the internet data on my Nexus 4?
I find the T-Mobile $30 monthly prepaid plan which gives 100 voice minutes, unlimited texting and unlimited data (5gb at 4g) to be the best. Groove IP or Talkatone can be used to when I'm reaching the voice limit cap and I find 5gb is pretty difficult to exceed in a month.

Have a question for you. I already have google voice for voicemail. Now I see with talkatone you need a google voice number that would be used for calls. Is there a way for users to call my mobile number and it all work over talkatone? Or do they need to call a new google voice number that forwards the call to my mobile?
If you're using a VoIP solution like GrooveIP or Talkatone they are going to work with your Google Voice number, not your sim number. I believe most people using this solution never give their sim number out. Personally, I found the 100 minutes too limited, and the VoIP quality too inconsistent if I wasn't on wifi. That's why I went with Solavei.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info. I'd want people to use my SIM number as that's the number I've had for years. I think what I may do is port my number to google voice, get a new number for my service and then have google voice forward all my calls to that number. That should solve that as well as let me use google voice features with TMO prepaid which is currently a pain in the butt. Thanks for your reply.
I ported to Google Voice when I made the switch to Solavei. The biggest problem to be aware of is Google Voice doesn't support MMS. I was coming from a voice only line, and as soon as I told people I could text they started texting pictures. So I ended up giving my new sim number out to anyone who texts me. This inevitably means I get called on both numbers. The good news on that front is Solavei supports conditional call forwarding so I can easily use Google Voice voicemail for my sim and GV numbers.
In all reality, giving the new number out wasn't as much of a pain as I thought it would be.

If you anticipate hopping frequently, the solution for maximum portability is probably to port the number you want to keep to Google, and forward GV to the number from your carrier du jour. Otherwise, you'll constantly have to port your number from carrier to carrier.Hey I am just about ready to order a nexus, however I'm a little confused about how people use their numbers....
I will be coming from Verizon with my own number, however, I do have a separate google voice number....
To be able to be fully 'portable' to any service (tmo one month, at&t the next, straight talk next, etc) would it be best to port my verizon number to Google voice?
To be more specific, i'm wondering what happens when you switch services... If you have a gv number for text and voice, do you have to give out a new number for mms?
Sorry if this is a newb question, thought it was the best place to ask
