I have TMobile here at home and usually go to Europe for a month each year. TMob gives its users free roaming with free 2G data and free texts internationally (for most popular destinations). I can pay extra for 3G data speeds if I want, but the 2G speeds are fine for me with Maps, and email checkings on the go. Prior to this option from TMobile I would get a sim card in each country I visited and load it up with $20 or so. That got expensive and annoying fast, and if you didn’t get an “in-country” sim card you’d be roaming and thus eat through your balance quicker. That’s why the Tmobile option is great for me, I get to keep my number and go wherever I want. I believe it’s 20c/min for calls, but I normally just skype/facetime once I’m back at the hotel/BnB and using Wifi for free.
