What's the biggest deal for you guys? They always offered free calls to usa over wifi, as long as you logged into it. Is that why it's wow? Cellspot Is like an airrave from sprint. Or is it the sms at 30k feet?

The biggest deal for me is the international capabilities.
Everything else sweetens the pot.

Wowed? No. But it's a nice added perk.

Free WiFi calling to the US from abroad over WiFi was available for a while already. They just emphasized it today.

Free sms from abroad was also available

Would like to see those features on the Moto X, which Motorola claims was build specially for T-MO, Uncarrier doesn't even list it on their website, and when I got it, T-Mobile made me get a new Sim because the one that moto shipped is very old, without even checking the Sim serial number.....

The big news here is that T-Mobile’s WiFi calling and texting features will work on any WiFi connection, anywhere in the world. As a result, all Simple Choice plan holders with T-Mobile phones will be able to make and receive phone calls, or send and receive text messages, from anywhere in the world as long as they’re connected to WiFi.

does that mean pay as you go lines will not have this feature?

Could I rely on it for navigation, does it work constantly or I'm better off bringing along a GPS?

Worked for me (along with politely sending me through an unfriendly Arab area)

Now if only waze knew who was using and and which neighborhoods they wanted to avoid.

For those of you that had the T-Mobile service in Israel, what speeds were you getting? 2G or 3G are just technology levels and not speeds. I'm curious what real world speeds users were getting in Israel. Did anyone run speedtests? Truth is even if it's 128 Kbps that's still enough for email and some web surfing.

My mom's in Israel now. She has no problem using Vonage to call us and it's crystal clear using data. I assume it's at least 3G as she hasn't complained about anything running slow.
