the phone data and everything else still works......but the wifi hotspot won't......with Simple Mobile the wifi will tick down to 2G but doesn't cut you off completely like Tmobile

From what I understand only T-Mobile has the International roaming package included in its Standard plan. Does Simple Mobile have this?

for the most part.......Simple Mobile is Tmobile...........but the 2 companies plans are much different.......
you'd probably have to have the Simple Mobile International sim card and plan for dat......even then it might not even work when roaming international.......dunno
and mi never get that Simple Moblile International sim card and plan as it's never on sale on Ebay......

Just bought a cheap phone for this upcoming trip. $20 XLT smart phone from Metro PCS. Hopefully they can unlock it for use in BC. I'd been using a Blackbery for several years as my travel phone. Time has come to move on.
