T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike::T-Mobile: "We are not raising the price... we are moving you to a newer plan."

Problem with MVNOs is that they get swallowed up or go defunct. I don't need my data transferring hands nor do I want to deal with switching cellphone plans. I just need it to work.

They also have terrible options for international data.

I've stuck with T-Mobile largely for the international data (plus the grandfathered plan I have) but unless you travel intentionally every month it's likely cheaper to just get an in-country eSIM plan to cover you for traveling.

do you have a consistent source for these eSIMs? The thing that's always held me back was that it was just another thing I have to worry about while traveling.

This is what I did when I visited the UK a few years ago. I paid about $30 and I was covered for the entire trip.
