T-Mobile Alternatives
« on: March 12, 2019, 12:21:09 PM »
Anyone know a company that offers comparable or better family plans than T_mobile, that include free international data and internet?

I am now paying $140/m for 4 lines, but I am looking to switch and hopefully lower my bill / maybe even get prepaid

Calculate how much you will actually use text and data internationally sometimes it's even cheaper than free

For example if you can get verizon for $100 a month and $10 a day for international

12x$100 = $1200
Vs
12x$140= $1680

You have 48 days for international roaming

If you only travel 20 days you saved $280

Basically you should not decide on a plan just on the international roaming
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ

Palestinians ≠ Hamas

I explained in theory that you have to factor in the "additional" cost for international roaming as opposed to simply deciding on a plan that offers "free" roaming

The only mnvo that I know of that has international roaming is ultra mobile , operates on T-Mobile network. You have to load money in advance and they charge .25 per minute , I am not sure about data

Sprint offers free roaming only in Canada and Mexico.
When roaming you get better service then sprint...

Would you happen to know. If I add a new line to the free account in the middle of the year. Do I get a full year of free service on the new line or it will end together with the first active line ?
