If you travel international a lot, T-Mobile's Global plus plan is fantastic. $50 per month gets you unlimited talk, text, and 15G LTE data in 210 countries. That being said, they did start sending me hate mail when I was based in Prague for 6 months in 2019. They never cancelled my plan though

I can't imagine calling anyone while in Prague.

I think what he meant is that if you are using the service outside the country more than domestically, they can disconnect it as it's against terms and conditions.

Cel? Cel?! Who spells it like that?!

+1 for T-mobile unless you live in the the Upper Midwest or road trip through it a lot. Look at the coverage map and expect acceptable service with "good" and "excellent". Everything else is hit or miss and you'd need to do a free trial to really know for that area.

Also, don't get it if you live on the edge of the sticks and/or spend much time in the sticks. Otherwise it worked great. Sticking with Verizon until I can travel to my family's and it cruise the local area and still have reception.

Had ATT for 15 years and recently switched to T-Mobile because ATT did me dirty with a plan "upgrade". Where ATT lagged(rural areas), T-Mobile has excelled, at least in my experience. I've clocked 5G speeds on T-Mobile at over 500Mbps which is incredible. With that said, T-Mobile seems to be more home run and strike out vs. the consistent base hits with ATT, if that makes sense. In the end, T-Mobile has free wifi on Gogo. Game Over.

Pilots should get free WiFi on Delta flights, change my mind.

Getting to the point where you will only be able to get Gogo on RJs

He had better 5G service in our home town but once we were in a rural area I had better 5G. At our destination he had no service and I had 2bars and LTE. I suspect everyone’s experience varies with the locations.
