Data roaming - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Had Verizon for years, roaming in the US was free. Obviously forcing the phone to roam would result in bad things.
Does t mobile allow this in the US too? As in can I turn on the roaming feature and not get dinged?
Have the unlimited everything plan.

Thank you. I couldn't seem to find that info.

I live in an area with pretty horrible tmobile service, and previously depended heavily on tmobile's domestic data roaming.
Back in 2012 they did away with unlimited roaming, and their unlimited plan now gives you 50mb, after which you have no data roaming for the rest of the month.
Here's a recent article: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story...-roaming-services-simple-choice-pl/2013-10-25

Thank you for the information sir!

I'm currently out of the country and I'm able to get unlimited roaming, although it's at a slow speed.

They'll give you unlimited data roaming if you go outside the US, but not in the US.

Depending on your specific data plan , you have certain amount of roaming data.

No Data Plan Needed?

I recently bought this SGS2 off Craigslist. My current plan has no data. I was just wondering if T-Mobile will add a data plan to my existing account if I insert my T-Mobile simcard in. Hence I don't need a data plan because I'm always around wifi. Thanks.

Yep you prolly have pay per use data (1.99 per mbb) you can have it blocked if you call CC. And just use wifi

I'd also be very very very cautious buying on Craig's list. If the seller bought the phone on an installment plan and quit paying for the phone/bill tmo will block the imei... pm me if you want me to look up the imei to check if its blocked or you can call customer care to check as well. Sometimes takes a month or two before it actually gets blocked if they account is still open. This is becoming an epidemic for tmo phones on Craigslist
I work as a sales rep we can look it up if you were wondering how I could check

$45 Unlimited All Straight Talk for T-Mobile

So all this time I thought that Straight Talk was ATT strictly.. til my bro in law just told me I can purchase a T mobile Sim Card and use it.
http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...cards&zip=32707&market=GSM5&locale=en&lang=EN
45$, unlimited text mins and web, no contract. Does anyone have this Straight Talk plan with a t mobile sim card?
If so, what kind of Web Speeds do they offer? Is it T mobiles Hspa 42.2 mbps 4g or what?
Also is it truly unlimited web? or do they throttle after certain GB of use?

Just to confirm straight Talk does have limits on their "unlimited web"
They just don't specifically tell you when.. But when they do feel like you've used too much data they just throttle you. That's an email from them.

How much does it cost you a month?..I'm on straight talk and do far i like it but haven't really used it on the road yet..
I had Sprint last week and decided to get rid of them cause their data speeds was soooo bad.. so far though I'm happy with straight talk. The girl i bought my phone off she mentioned simple mobile which runs of T-Mobile towers. And idea about them?..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
well, I am using simple Mobile $60. unlimited everything, but they throttle you when they feel you are using too much data. max speed I got around 16 Mb, by the way I live in Houston.

You're probably on the unlimited data with 5gb of 4g then after 5gb they throttle you.
But now t mobile has a data plan that is supposed to be truly unlimited.. No throttle

You sir, are correct.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've been using Straight Talk with the T-Mobile compatible sim for about 4 months now and I've never been throttled. I regularly use around 6-8gb of data a month and have never had any trouble. Speeds are exactly on par with what you get on T-Mobile.
However, there are rumblings of Straight Talk throttling on the AT&T compatible sim card.

Tmobiles truly unlimited plan.

I'm not sure if its been posted already, but I just found d out by a representative that the plan caps out at 10 gigs. Still a great plan though.

If this is true I'm suing them because in my paperwork it says truly unlimited. Plus that's not what I signed on to in the store.

Truly unlimited means that you are not disconnected from the internet but your download speed will be slowed to about 10kb/s therefore you still have internet and tmobile doesn't violate your contract
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm at 12 GB so far and still hitting 15 mb/s. I think they must have just misinformed you and told you about the 10 GB unlimited plan. Which does slow down after 10.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
That rep was misinformed. Their truly unlimited plan is truly unlimited. They have another "unlimited" plan for 10 GB -- and they will throttle you afterward.
I agree that the rep is misinformed. Log into your t-mobile account, you can go up to 9999gb.
Ya cuz when I check on my acct it say data 9xxx

completely false, the true unlimited is true unlimited, i used about 30 gb last month ...
Sue them in the court of law for false advertisement.

The "out of 9gb+" is just their system limitation, they just have to update their system to remove it and put unlimited instead since they did not have it for awhile

People should really get out of the habit of using marketing catch-phrases with "G's" in them. There is no 3G or 4G. There is HSPA+ and there is LTE. GoPhone does NOT offer LTE service (yet), but you WILL get HSPA+ service.

I work for AT&T, the largest Gophone data plan right now is 1GB. If you stuck a Gophone SIM in the N2, there's a chance the data wouldn't even work. I've heard this from many customers with various smartphones. Talk and text works but data doesn't. Not sure why. But as stated, no LTE for Gophones right now.

Walmart Family Mobile cap the data speed to 1MB for download and for 1MB Upload. I was thinking about switching to Family mobile and a Friend of mine has it so i took his sim and put it in my NOTE3, it show 4g Lte on the phone but like i said download data speed doesn't pass 1mbps. I tried both Tmobile APN and Walmart Family Mobile APN and was getting the same 1mbps download speed. In the same spot with my Tmobile sim, I was getting 20mbps down and 8mbps upload. BTW I have Tmobile $30 plan.
