The last time I called about lowering the cost of the bill, the AT&T representative said “oh no, you don’t want to switch, you have one of our grandfathered plans with unlimited data, which you’ll never be able to get again.”Īs someone who isn’t especially tech savvy, I believed her, and kept our current plan. This past week I was in Florida visiting my mom, and we decided to go to the T-Mobile store to finally make the switch.įor reference, I’ve been paying $260 a month for two lines (my line, and my mom’s line). I’ve almost never thought of even turning data on abroad with my AT&T phone.įor example, one minute of data in the UAE once cost me $500 with AT&T (I could retroactively sign-up for a plan to get that lowered, but I find it ridiculous that this is even a price they would consider charging, when T-Mobile offers it for free).
I also have a ton of international travel coming up, and it would be so nice to have continuous phone coverage around the world. Last week when T-Mobile announced free Gogo Wi-Fi, I figured it was about time I switch. However, as someone who isn’t especially tech savvy, that seemed a bit too complicated for me, and it doesn’t seem like it’s especially compatible with iPhones. I was also considering switching to Google Fi, which Tiffany recently wrote about. As someone who spends nearly half their time out of the US, what a stupid system! When traveling internationally I’d typically just not use any cell phone data, but instead would rely mostly on hotel Wi-Fi. So much like going to the dentist or getting a yearly check-up, I pushed off switching cell phone providers.
But I guess it’s that I hate cell phone companies so much that I didn’t even want to think how aggravating it would be to switch cell phone providers. For years I’ve had AT&T, and I’ve hated them. Last week T-Mobile became even better for travelers, as they introduced free Gogo Wi-Fi for customers. T-Mobile has become the “go to” wireless carrier for international travelers, thanks to their revolutionary Simple Choice International Plan, which offers automatic coverage in over 140 countries around the world, with data and texting at no extra charge, plus a cost of just 20 cents per minute for calls.
