I have the 9900 on t-mobile. Soon I will be traveling to Europe, primarily England and Finland with stops in Germany and Ireland. I will need to make phone calls and texts back to the USA and email access. How can I do this? I read the 9900 has wifi calling ability. Is this correct? How will I be able to make texts and email? Will I have to get a package through t-mobile, or buy a SIM in each European country? Any apps that can help? I appreciate any pointers! Thank you!
I pay T-Mobile $19.95 for a monthly access to unlimited data that I use while residing in Paris. I send and receive tons of emails at no additional cost and the $19.95 can be pro-rata for the period that you travel. I use an old BB 8320 with a French sim card and tie that French number to a toll-free 1-800 number that I have my home phone forwarded to - my home phone rings on the 8320 with no long distance charges. Even with international roaming the T-Mobile rates for regular phone calls is pretty high.
