Re: 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!45Views0likes0CommentsOverseas 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?Solved41KViews2likes50Comments
