Update: been in France for a week… LTE stopped working. Called T-Mobile and they’ve opened an engineering ticket… I used about 5 gigs of data and 6 gigs of tethering before the slowness… I’m back to 0.20 mbps down (similar to what I would get with the TMo One Plus)

So I’m in France and I can report that the high speed data is working fine after a few tweaks. In Switzerland everything worked ok, just needed to restart my phone like 2 times.

In France the problem was with the APN. The Fast.t-mobile.com APN doesn’t register properly in France – I’m guessing it’s because they don’t have REAL LTE. When I changed the APN to epc.tmobile.com everything switched on. I’m getting about 7 mbps down, and like 3 up with a lag of 354ms. I know the lag is a bit crazy, but facetime is working fine and everything I need to do is working…

It looks like we can sign up for the plan already – I had the option thru my TMobile App under the manage add ons for my phone line.

I travel between the U.S. and France A LOT and I’m really curious to see how this plan will work out. Like many of you I have the great One Plus International and I didn’t want to get rid of it. So I ended up adding a line for $10 bucks and adding the Global Plus to the new line. Let’s see how it turns out…

One thing, the CS agent that helped me told me that not all features of the One Plus International are included. However, she wasn’t able to tell me exactly which ones are/are not….

I’m glad they added the unlimited 4G LTE hotspot back, as that was the most important part of the OnePlus International plan to me. Considering most high-speed internet services are $40-60, I think the pricing is still competitive, though I’m going to hold onto my $15 OnePlus International for dear life.

NOTE that if you have any kind of employee discount program on your account such as “Amplified” then you cannot get this plan which is disappointing.

So basically T-Mobile ended a $15 international add-on in order for them to sell you a new, more expensive $50 international add-on with a couple added bells and whistles. T-Mobile’s been slowly jacking up prices over the past year, imagine prices if the Sprint merger is approved and it is on equal footing with Verizon and AT&T, thereby eliminating any reason to be price competitive.

In reply to PC_Tool. I regularly use over 100+ GB but never seem to be get reprioritized. I won't be giving up my One Plus International anytime soon.

I think the big question with this new plan is whether more than 50% of your usage has to be in the US for data and voice like current plans. If it does, then this plan is way to expensive because at least for me while in the US, I primarily use data on wifi so have limited data on the T-Mobile network. While abroad, I am more likely to use data because I am in unfamiliar areas so using maps more frequently, looking up locations of things, and just out and about far more than in a location with wifi access. That is the biggest downside to the current T-Mobile plans. I just received my first threat of being kicked off T-Mobile for using 55% of my data internationally over the prior 3 months which I had totally forgot about when opting for the T-Mobile One plus for $10 a month which offers 256 kbs speeds (2X the regular T-Mobile One Plan) in Simple Choice countries.
