Heading to Europe in July to end of Sept...Want to use my US phone to make calls from Europe, locally & stateside.  What program works best for this situation?   Do I add international call plan or another program?  Is T mobile associated with TIM, Italian phone carrier?

I’d suggest that you use an inordinate amount of cellular data between now and when you depart for Europe. Excess roaming warnings are triggered by the ratio of on-network to roaming data used. If you run up the on-network usage, you forestall the warnings. Also, for trips longer than about two weeks, I’d get a local SIM for data. What phone(s) do you have? If you have a phone with eSIM or dual-SIM capability or a good spare phone you can run the local SIM for data and just use T-Mobile for voice and texts.

AFAIK, TIM is not a T-Mobile company.
