Again from the fine print:
" Not for extended international use; you must reside in the U.S. and primary usage must occur on our U.S. network. Device must register on our U.S. network before international use. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming or misuse." :(
Also:
" U.S. roaming and on-network data allotments differ; 1 GB full-speed plan includes 10 MB roaming; 3 GB and Unlimited 4G LTE on your smartphone full-speed plans include 50 MB roaming; 5 GB full-speed plan includes 100 MB roaming."
Again, I am indebted to this forum for its sharp eyes. I am going to check this out before I sign up, too. Most of my use of this phone will be in the U.S., either during my winter in California or during my day trips shopping in Detroit in the spring. But I definitely do want to check this out.
I am most concerned about talk and text restrictions, less so the data, since I use very little data on my phone in Canada.
It is also occurred to me that I would not want to ask my Canada-based family and friends to call me on this phone while I am in Canada, as they would be calling long distance. So I am first going to see how much it would cost me to keep my Rogers service, at the lowest possible levels of talk, text and data.
Even if I can keep a combined T-Mobile and Rogers cellphone cost to no more than I am paying Rogers now, I would be happy. While in the US for 6 months my Rogers phone is useless to me except for WiFi data usage at home or in restaurants and such.
