Simple Choice North America and Europe Vacation

I have a grandfathered plan, Simple Choice North America, which is perfect for my needs at home. We have an upcoming cruise acation, taking us to the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway and Iceland. My initial plan had been to buy the $50 International Data Pass for 30 days, so I can use my phone there and not need to swap out a European Sim. (My phone is an S10 and doesn’t support eSim.)Then, I saw the news story about the Florida man charged $146,000 after a T-Mobile rep told him he was covered and I wanted to double check here.If I buy this $50 International Data and text pass and block voice calling, I should not incur any expenses while on my travels? (The phone will be in airplane mode while on the cruise ship itself. I mainly need it while in ports of call.)I just need this clarified and to avoid what happened with the Florida man.

Inaccurate description - wifi calling benefit

Benefit Details Wi-Fi calling  With Wi-Fi Calling, you can make and receive calls and messages over Wi-Fi, just as if you were on the network. This is particularly helpful in areas where the cellular signal is weak or nonexistent (basements, rural areas, etc.), but there is a strong and reliable Wi-Fi signal. Wi-Fi Calling also lets you to call the U.S. from anywhere in the world for free! And T-Mobile phones have Wi-Fi Calling built right in. PLease exp[lain this...I was in the Philippines and used wifi calling. I was charged 25 cents per minutes. I ended up with an added $60 to my bill. This is false advertising on your website. I have been with TMobile for a while now and this is as problem for me. False adsvertising!

Really Bad Customer Service

Hi,I am facing big issue with customer service and unable to find a way to lodge complaint officially. Issue started last month when I was travelling overseas and data roaming did not work for 1 specific main line. Other 2 lines I carried worked fine. I called support and they asked me to add roaming package for 10 days but even as I mentioned that I have not maxed allocated roaming hours they instructed to add additional package. After activation of the package still issue was open and support technician was asking standard questions and placed no effort to fix it. After spending multiple calls over 1 hour of my valuable time overseas issue was not fixed. Requested for someone from USA technical support was requested and agent mentioned request has been placed and will get call within 3 days. This never happened. I chatted with support on the issue and ask for refund of the data package and someone to call to fix the data roaming issues was not closed. After multiple attempts to get c

international data on Magenta Max 55+ plan

We have been traveling extensively over the past couple of years since we converted to T-Mobile.  One great advantage is the use of unlimited data during our travel.  Understand that calls are $.25 per minute but want to make sure the data service is available in Spain and Portugal?

I may be suspending my T-Mobile line while living abroad for a few months.  While there, I'll be using a SIM card for a local cell provider which will require me to use a new phone number.  Can I have calls and texts from my suspended T-Mobile number forwarded to me new SIM/number?thank you,Steve

International Pass to India

Hi I’m planning to travel for work to India next week. I’m on Magenta Max plan. I’m looking to buy 10 day pass for 35 dollars. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/international-passesMy questions are - Can I add more data before the end of 10 days? Or I might have to compliment using an data only e-sim from 3rd party vendor? Can I get seperate bill from T-mobile for the pass? For expense reasons. My work already pays a portion of my cellphone bill so I can’t use the same bill twice for monthly & pass. While in India can I call domestic Indian cellphones/landlines using my Tmobile plan on roaming without any extra charges? Is there any way to check the data usage out of International plan portion?

International Pass

My mom is going to France. Will be getting her the $50 for 30 days International Pass. She has the ONE plan.1. I am very confused about their unlimited calling with the International Pass. Is it unlimited for normal cellular signal calling and $0.25/minute for wi-fi calling?2. If my mom calls Indonesia from France, is it part of the unlimited calling? Same thing, if someone calls her from Indonesia while she is in France?3. I am assuming calls to and from the US to France is part of the unlimited calling?4. Should my mom keep her wifi-calling turned off during her trip?5. Should my mom keep her roaming turned off during her trip?6. If my mom runs out of data before the 30 days, how do I add more?7. Any other tips for avoiding surprise charges?

Bill

I have a moto G Play 2021 phone, am currently traveling in Spain and Portugal.  I have the Magenta 55+ plan.  My phone works fine on wi-fi, but won’t connect to local networks.  I have data roaming turned on.  Ideas? Problem #2.   I went ahead and purchased a local sim card while I tried to sort this out.  My sim card drawer is  apparently jammed and won’t open, so  I can’t insert it.  No one in several phone stores has been able to get the drawer to open.  Ideas?  If I take the back of the phone off, can I can force the drawer open -- carefully?thanks for any ideas.

I'm foreigner, traveling from EU to US

Hi,I'm EU citizen, travelling to US with my family and need to use my phone from T=0. We are 5 people. 3 kids, me and my wife. We're flying to Boston. What is the best way for all of us to get the functional SIM which we can use for calling with a reasonable data limit (unlimited would ve the best).Is there a T-Mobile somewhere on airport? Or can we buy the SIM cards remotely (possibly the eSIMs?). We're staying for 3 weeks.Thanks for your recommendations.
