From CNET: Subscribers of T-Mobile's Simple Global plan who travel to anywhere in Europe and South America no longer have to worry about roaming charges.
The carrier announced on Thursday that it has expanded its Simple Global plan to 20 new countries to support 145 countries altogether. That means postpaid subscribers of the plan get unlimited data and texting at no extra cost and flat-rate calls to mobile phones and landlines charged at 20 cents per minute when traveling to any of the supported countries.
This is just the latest move by a carrier to broaden its appeal to consumers as the mobile industry battles for subscribers. T-Mobile has long used its free international data coverage as a key selling point -- something the other US carriers have been unable to fully match.
With the new additions, the Simple Global plan now covers all of Europe and South America, as well as countries in North America and the Caribbean, the Asia-Pacific region and Africa and the Middle East. T-Mobile claims that Simple Global will now cover 90 percent of the trips abroad that Americans take each year. One new destination is the Bahamas, a spot that more than 2 million Americans visit every year, according to the carrier.
