    Yeah I kept a tmo plan for a stupid amount of time. Eventually MVNO plans were just cheaper, so i switched. Why does anyone want to stay on some legacy plan anyway? Were any of them any good? This is what I would get for very low usage on tmobile now:

      Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.

        That’s why I spent 2k to import an iPhone from Canada instead of buying one locally. I travel to Costa Rica often and I keep my tmobile esim for most other tasks, but I can pick up a sim for $5 and that will last me most of my trip as long as I’m smart with my data usage.
