Re: Overseas Travel: How can I avoid incoming call costs but still use free text/data roaming while abroad?
MissTiti- I have to admit, I honestly don't recall if I followed the directions or left it to chance and paid for a few calls. I think I left my phone in airplane mode when I wasn't actively using texting and data. It might be worth adding a new post on this topic in case anything (like the forwarding number) has changed since then.11Views1like0CommentsRe: Overseas Travel: How can I avoid incoming call costs but still use free text/data roaming while abroad?
@tmo_chris Thank you so much for responding to my question with detailed info on how I can push calls directly to voicemail when traveling so I won't get billed for unwanted "spam" calls. I appreciate the information! And thank you, @drnewcomb2, for the additional suggestions. Thanks again for the help!59Views0likes2CommentsOverseas Travel: How can I avoid incoming call costs but still use free text/data roaming while abroad?
We're planning to travel to Europe later this year and would like to take advantage of T-Mobile's free international text/data roaming. However, I saw that incoming calls are charged at one minute even if you don't answer; per T-Mobile's website: "If your phone is on when you get an incoming call, even if you do not answer it, the call is charged one minute for delivery to the phone. (There are no charges if your phone is turned off.)" I get multiple robocalls/telemarketer calls per week, and I don't want to rack up charges for unwanted calls. Is there any way to temporarily turn off incoming calls or route them directly to voicemail to avoid charges? If so, what are the steps to do that?Solved42KViews2likes52Comments
