Walmart $30 Plan question - did it change?

[duvallite]

I'm on the Walmart $30 PP plan, and today I got a text from T-Mobile saying that they had "made my requested change to my monthly plan, effective today", which is the start of my new month. However, I had not requested any change to my plan. I went on-line to my T-Mobile account, and it shows: $30 for 100 minutes Talk, Unlimited Data (5 GB at 4G speed), and Unlimited Int Text. The only difference I can see is that it used to say just "Unlimited Text", and now it shows "Unlimited Int Text", which I'm guessing is international text.

Anybody else get this change, and does this mean I now can text if I'm in other countries, like Canada or Mexico, without having to do anything else?

I got the same message. I don't text internationally, as I use FB Messenger or skype. But, the change is for ppd plans as well so it's a plus. I"m not sure if you can text while in other countries.

Someone with more knowledge may chime in here.

If it say int that means any where

I noticed my renewal notification changed this month as well. From "Thank you! Your monthly plan has been paid and starts today. It is good through 5/11/2014." (last month) to "We made your requested change to your monthly plan effective 5/11/2014." (this month).

Mine said that too with the $70 unlimited plan.

Actually, the International text means text internationally while you are on T-Mobile's network. Prepaid plans do not get free Global data roaming, like postpaid plans do. It appears you will still be charged for texts made in other countries.

Not if he is rooted he can edit the prop to make the carrier think he is over seas when he is sitting in his backyard sipping on some e&j . and that may change soon
