Wireless Roaming Policy for T-Mobile

U.S. wireless roaming comes with some data limitations on the T-Mobile network. While T-Mobile does not charge extra when users roam outside of its network, it does impose limits on data usage. Specifically, most postpaid T-Mobile plans have 200 MB of roaming data per billing cycle.

The specific plans for which this policy applies include all Magenta plans, T-Mobile Essentials, ONE Plan, or a Simple Choice plan activated after November 15, 2015, as well as voice and mobile internet. Domestic roaming eligibility varies for prepaid plans and postpaid plans activated before November 15, 2015.

Data Roaming

Data roaming is available to you as a convenience when you are out of reach of the T-Mobile network. It is not designed to be the primary source of your data coverage. T-Mobile limits the amount of data you can use while you are roaming, depending on your plan's allowance. You can monitor your roaming usage online at My T-Mobile.
