If you reside in the USA but visit Canada often, T-Mobile has launched a new $50 unlimited talk, text and data plan for $50, which covers Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
T-Mobile says you get unlimited calling to and from the U.S. to any number, including mobiles in Mexico and Canada. While roaming in Canada and Mexico you’ll get 4G LTE data “just like in the U.S.”
The plan includes up to 1GB of 4G LTE data (which slows down after that), with 3GB and 5GB data add-ons for $10 and $20 per month extra, while unlimited is $30.
Of course, T-Mobile says there are rules for this plan, noting it’s not for extended use and you must reside in the U.S., according to the fine print:
Not for extended international use; you must reside in the U.S. and primary usage must occur on our U.S. network. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming or misuse.
Below is a list of the Canadian cities that have 4G LTE support for T-Mobile roaming:
Banff National Park
Bay of Fundy
Brampton
Burnaby
Calgary
Edmonton
Gatineau
Halifax
Hamilton
Kitchener
Laval
London
Longueuil
Markham
Mississauga
Montreal
Niagara Falls
Ottawa
Quebec City
Regina
Richmond
Saskatoon
St Johns
Surrey
Toronto
Vancouver
Vaughan
Victoria
Whistler
Windsor
Winnipeg
T-Mobile users that have roamed in Canada have been connected to WIND Mobile, Rogers, TELUS and Mobilicity, part of roaming agreements the U.S. carrier has with its partners here.
If you’re in the U.S., and will be testing out this plan in Canada, let us know how it works out for you. Meanwhile, Canadian wireless users can only salivate at the price and coverage of a plan like this.
Thanks Nick
