Do you travel frequently in and out of the United States? Well, T-Mobile is the must-have American cell phone company for domestic and international travelers and tourists.
Who wouldn’t want unlimited, automatic coverage in over 140 countries?! T-Mobile allows its users to have unlimited texts and data coverage abroad at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Only calls cost 20 cents per minute. One can avoid this by using calling apps, such as, What’s App, Viber, Line, etc.
