Roaming Violation

I work in Alaska half the year and T-Mobile was going to cancel my line for violation of TOS, I bundled my 2 phones and in home wifi thru X-finity/comcast…… ended up being way cheaper than t-Mobile,Verizon, or At&T. Best part is that X-Finity uses Verizon Towers (Partners) and I get great service….. Even literally on the very top of the planet (i work in the Arctic Oil Fields) How long did you use T Mobile before you got that warning? How much data were you using a month?

Well that’s great. Basically no one knows the data caps. Only way to know is to go there and try it yourself. They really need to clarify this on T Mobiles website.

It should work fine, you might have to go into your phones settings (Network Selection) and pick GCI. If you spend more than 50% of your time (in a 2 month stretch) roaming, then TMobile could cancel your line for violation of TOS  can you point the 50% rule out somewhere on the website? Can you confirm if you have a limit of a certain amount of data? I’ve seen 200 MB and 5GB mentioned.

Alaska Coverage

As long as it doesn’t completely shut down that is good. I’m sure I will blow past 5GB in a week.

So it sounds like if you are on GCI you get 5GB. I’ll be up there over a week. 5GB isn’t enough. Once you hit 5GB does it allow you to use 2G or 3G speeds or does it just shut off?

Roaming Violation

Can anyone confirm how data roaming works in Alaska? When you look on the t mobile website it says you are limited to 200 MB of data then the internet shuts off. That is not enough data for 1 day. Some of you are posting you have roamed in Alaska for months. I just want to know if I am in Alaska for a week will i only have 200 MB or will it work just like it does in the rest of the US?
