Through the close of the Paralympic Games on September 18, all T‑Mobile Simple Choice postpaid customers automatically get unlimited high-speed data. Wherever they go in Brazil, they’ll get the fastest available roaming speeds up to 4G LTE. And, calls within Brazil and back home to the US are free – as is texting worldwide. But that’s not all! The Un-carrier’s making sure family members of Team USA can enjoy the games without constant fear of coming home to a cell phone bill full of roaming charges. We’re giving them FREE T‑Mobile service along with a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Samsung Gear 360 camera (while supplies last) to use during their travels in Brazil. “We are proud to support America’s finest in Rio and make it easier than ever for their families to share every moment of their experience!” said John Legere, president and CEO of T‑Mobile. “These athletes have trained hard and we want their families to stream, snap and share this historic experience without worrying about coming home to a ridiculous wireless phone bill.” Family members of athletes headed to Brazil can learn more at [www.t‑mobile.com/brazil](https://www.t-mobile.com/brazil) or contact [RoamFreeInRio@t‑mobile.com](mailto:RoamFreeInRio@t-mobile.com) to get up to two smartphones and one 360 camera per athlete (while supplies last) activated with T‑Mobile service ahead of the games.
