T-Mobile Lets You Use Your Phone In The US, Canada, And Mexico With No Roaming Fees

T-Mobile has come up with two things that got my attention.

  • T-Mobile customers can now use their smartphones to make calls, send text messages and browse the mobile Web in US, Canada and Mexico without any roaming charges.
  • T-Mobile customers can now call Canadian and Mexican numbers from the US without incurring any fees

The program starts July 15th. Oh, before any Canadians say “sign me up”, forget about it. The fine print says this:

you must reside in the U.S. and primary usage must occur on our U.S. network.
