Simple Global unlimited text and data is NOT working in UK for my Magenta 55+ plan. I am in UK now. No partner carrier name appears in my Home Screen. Do I need to change some setting for this to work? Do I need to turn on the “roaming” setting?

I suggest turning on roaming. If roaming was on you should of received a text stating you were roaming.
OK, thanks. I was wondering if I would get big charges for roaming. I’ll give it a try today and see if it works. It’s a little surprising that T-mobile don’t note this somewhere in their website (either in my account or support section …)
Just tried and seems to be working with Data Roaming on, so I will check later for any roaming charges. Thanks again.

My plan is Magenta 55+. In my account benefits it mentions ‘Simple Global data and text’ is included. however, the webpage link does not mention “Magenta 55+” plans. Then again the webpage does mention Go5G, Max and Plus plans ….. (omitting Magenta). A bit confusing.
So my best guess is that the Simple Global data and text feature mentioned in my plan means I get free unlimited data and text (at 256mbps) so I will continue using.
Often there are big charges for roaming so that’s why I really wanted to clarify (and I don’t want to be surprised with a massive charge after a three week trip). Many thanks for replying to my questions.

Unless you do something unusual, like calling an Iridium satellite phone or making hour-long calls to anywhere, you shouldn’t see any huge bills. About all T-Mobile bills for in (the vast majority of) international roaming is just 25¢/min for calls.
Here are my hints for cost effective roaming.
