Re: Activating new TMobile SIM while overseas?
edeemari58, I’m not really the person to ask as I only use the US phone occasionally. That being said I’ve notice that the US phone likes to connect to the UK Vodafone network on its own. I try calling the US phone from my UK phone...sometimes it rings, other times I get voicemail. Both are good enough for me. You can stop by a Tesco store or other corner convenience shop and pick up a pay-as-you-go sim card for small change, something like £1. The sim might work in your existing phone. If it does then you can pay the extra £10 or so for the top-up code. I would use an O2 sim. Most coffee shops (Costa, Caffe Nero, Starbucks, others) have wireless access points, just ask for the SSID and password. Hope this helps.393Views0likes0CommentsRe: Activating new TMobile SIM while overseas?
Success! A cool Customer Service guy named Renc got my overseas (UK) Sprint phone moved over to T-Mobile without a visit to the States for activation. The key is to use an eSIM, so your phone has to be capable of supporting it. You can do the transfer over the phone with Customer Support. He also knocked my payments down to boot.420Views1like0Comments
