Google Fi, T-mobile?
 

Time for a new phone. Im wondering what you guys find works best in Europe and Aisa for phone service. Any advice? Im a frugle pilot so price matters. Google Fi looks like a good deal but im wondering if anyone out has tried it yet. Ive heard T mobile data can be slow internationally.

Google fi is great. It uses TMobile, Sprint and US Cellular for cell service. If you are looking for a cheap a la carte option, go with them

TMobile overseas (outside of Canada or Mexico) is reduced to EDGE speeds. It’s pretty slow but for an extra $10 per month, they upgrade it to TMobile One Plus and they double your speed. They also extend the free WiFi on Gogo to the whole flight. Data passes can be purchased overseas to increase speeds to LTE temporarily.

Delta perks gives you the high end plan (3g internationally, unlimited everything) for the price of Tmo one.

I️ have an iPhone and AT&T for service. Internationally, I️ leave it in airplane mode and use the ATT WiFi service to call VoIP for free everywhere there’s a WiFi signal, which is almost everywhere.

I have been doing that but for some reason i dont get some of my incoming text messages when i out of the country. Maybe its phone thing???

Worth checking out, esp the free gogo. Where have you used it, Europe, China?

IPhone? "Green" measages (typically android) won't come through on Wifi, but iMessages- "blue" ones sent by other apple products DO come through over Wifi.

Project Fi has been awesome internationally. Typically has LTE speeds overseas, but occasionally drops down to 3G. No contract and great customer service.

Europe, japan, southeast Asia, Australia, Central America, Canada, and even florida
