I wish they would extend this through the end of 2017 as I'm planning to go to Europe next summer. It would be nice to be able to text and use my data abroad. Oh well, glad I already have an unlocked iPhone.

You will be. Even if this promotion ends, there'd still be unlimited texting and 2G data roaming.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if T-Mo ends up extending this deal indefinitely come the end of the year. Then we'll see if AT&T and Verizon will care to compete on this feature.

I hope you are right. Being on AT&T, I would love to see them do their usual comes-close-not-100% competing offer.

This is really an awesome deal. I was this summer in several European countries with the family (4 of us) - and it was great. Speeds were good and we had everywhere network. Back in the days when I had AT&T I would only get a super expensive plan for me and my wife with very limited data and we rarely dared to turn data roaming on. Having the t-mobile plan this summer saved us tons of money and all four of us were always connected - which is very helpful when traveling and you have to look things up.

Hell yes. I leave for London this Saturday.

No love for Canada T-Mo? Meanwhile here in the US roaming is limited. After loading a couple webpage then it's useless. SMH!

T-Mobile users already have free LTE data in Canada.
