Summary

T-Mobile’s “Uncarrier 3.0” initiative revolutionizes international roaming, eliminating data and text message fees in over 100 countries. Additionally, a flat calling rate of 20 cents per minute is introduced. The “Stateside International Talk and Text” plan offers affordable international calling for customers in the US.

T-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, emphasizes the high profits made by larger carriers on international roaming, which T-Mobile aims to disrupt. While the data speeds will be slower (around 128 Kbps), speed packs can be purchased for temporary higher speeds. The plan caters to frequent travelers, those near US borders, and businesses looking to reduce expenses.

T-Mobile’s move puts pressure on competitors to match their attractive offerings. With over 200 million people covered by LTE in the US, T-Mobile aims to attract users who have avoided them due to network coverage concerns.
