I moved this from the General News forum to the General Carrier Discussion forum.

I'm on T-Mobile.
 
Most of us in the US choose carriers based on domestic coverage and cost. International roaming isn't as important to most. T-Mobile just happens to check off both boxes for many.

I'm on Mint Mobile, a MVNO that uses T-Mobile towers.
 
Because of International roaming?
International roaming is certainly a really nice perk for the higher tier T-Mobile plans. I get free texting and fairly high-speed mobile data in most countries I would want to visit, and calling rates aren't too bad. I much prefer this to having to swap SIMs, which means telling everyone to call a different phone number if they want to reach me.
 
Verizon Global Choice International calling was described to me (by a Verizon rep) as an unlimited talk, text and data option while traveling in many countries. It's included with their Unlimited Ultimate plan. Also, as I travel from one country to the next, the unlimited talk text & data follow the phone to that new country. I am limited to 300 minutes of talk FROM THE U.S. to my 'preferred country'.
This sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
 
I switched from T-Mobile being with them for over 10 years to Mint mobile. Why pure unlimited for 180 bucks for a year. That's 360 for my wife and me. I was paying around 2k a year with T-Mobile

We've been with TMO (this time) for the last nine years. I signed up with MM yesterday for a one week test account. I asked about the $45 a month and I was told that that is only a one time sign up promo and after the first three months the price goes to $75 for each line. And, that is not unlimited, that is for unlimited talk and text but only 5 gigs of data per month. Still a good deal but not $180 a year and not for unlimited data.

I was told last night that CS is now located in the USA, but when I had to call this morning about an esim issue the person had a heavy accent and when I asked where they were located I was told the Philippines. I don't care about location but I do care about being lied to and lack of trustworthiness of their customer service reps. I cancelled my test account immediately.

First off I have unlimited data.. they were running a promo for their unlimited data plan for 180 a year when I signed up. That deal isn't running now.

So yes the plans for 12 months normally are:

5GB - 180
15GB - 240
20GB - 300
Unlimited - at the moment its 240 a year, normally 380 a year
 
That's a great promo wish I had found that. That $75 price is for the regular three month price with the taxes and fees. That came to me in an email showing the next three months bill after the promotional price.

So, when did you that that full year promotion?
