I'm travelling internationally today and I don't want to incur any roaming charges. What measures should I take? I went on a cruise once and Sprint charged me for some minutes even though I didn't make any calls.

 

Thanks.

Your handset actually has a no roaming charge button.  It may be on the top or the side, and it is sometimes labeled "Power."

I was just in Sault Ste Marie, MI and I made sure that our phones had international roaming voice and data disabled else we would have picked up service from Sault Ste Marie, ON since service is spotty out of town. Worked just fine.

 

A side note: I run Netmonitor so I wanted to log some Canadian BSIDs so I enabled international roaming once. It kicked over to Bell Mobility and I instantly received 2 text messages telling me what the rates were and how to contact Sprint concerning my plan and international roaming. I didn't think the charges were too far out of line with normal a la carte service charges.

      These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
