Leaked: New T-Mobile Plan With Unlimited International High Speed Data & Calling

Project Fi is now Google Fi, it is going mainstream. In the past 18 months I've used it in Japan, Argentina, Uruguay Canada, and Spain. I pay an average of about $40 per month which is base of $20 + 2gb @$10 each. In each country it just works. I never worry about calls or data. It is good and cheap. You juat burn more data as y use it, and only pay for what you use I use Google maps when driving and navigating cities. They cap data at $60! I will never go back.

BTW - Just finished a trip to Germany for two weeks and was advised by a number of cell phone providers that I could not get an account without and EU passport. I was able to buy a Starter Kit at Aldi for AldiTalk. If you do this and plan to use ANY data then buy the additonal data and add it immediately. Starter Kit is $12 and added another 5GB for $20. These are monthly plans. If you roam you will use the data on your Starter SIM and it will be gone in minutes...I used most of my account just running a speed test on the Starter Kit when I first got it. WARNING- You better speak German or have a tech savy German helper. Nothing is in English, it is poorly written (3 separate German helpers could not figure out most of what to do), and you will need to setup with a video conference call, with your passport which they will scan and then do a visual comparison with you holding the passport by your face! Then, a few hours later, your account will be activated. Adding money or data to your account requires purchasing an “AldiTalk Giftcard” at an Aldi store and then using the codes on the phone to add the card. If you phone has no money left you will not be able to add money... TMO plan seems like to is a good option even though it cost twice as much as AldiTalk but at the same time you heart will last longer!

Lucky, how about an article on using the iphone with dual SIM. Typical questions: - Can main service, ie TMO be setup on the eSIM so one can just switch the physical SIM based on location? From what I understand this would allow TMO for most services internationally but you can setup one of the SIMs for data only which would be a way to get a physical data SIM in the location you travel to for handling the DATA at reasonable rates.

I have had 2 lines on Tmo and now on Fi, have been outside the US for 3 years on my line and the other line has been 2years outside the US. Come to US only 3-4weeks out of the year. Both heavy users across many countries and never got the warning letter from either provider. While Tmo got worse with its slow service, the frustrating thing about Fi is that it is for me on the Moto X4 very unreliable when it comes to data connectivity in the US and voice service abroad. In the US I have to constantly do the manual network selection to get data connectivity, and abroad I hardly get phone calls coming through on the handset and instead am always answering via hangouts on my other devices. Google still needs to work on its reliability, but the billing setup and data flexibility make it tolerable for now. @mjonis What do you mean that with Fi on iphone you cannot tether? I believe the limitation is that when using a data only sim outside the US then you cannot tether, but the primary sim is always able to tether. Will have to do some testing to figure out your comment.

SO many good replies and information here. My one concern is anyone knows or is reading these updates. Ben states this is free calling between other Unlimited free Simple Global to Simple Global calling. Others state it is unlimited calling to almost anywhere and even in the country you are in. I have this with AT&T automatically for $10.00 a day. I am out of the country sometimes freqently 10 + days at a time. The AT&T plan has saved me a bunch but Tmobile may have better coverage. I had a Tmobile plan but the 256 speeds were too restrictive.,
