"International Data Roaming" - Have you tethered with it?

[twe90kid]

Many of us are on Simple Choice Unlimited plans. These plans do include what T-mobile called "Unlimited International Data Roaming".
I'm sure many have traveled outside of USA and used their data free. But, have you tried to tether? I'm wondering if it would be a problem and if T-mobile knows we are sharing the data while overseas.
Any insight?

As far as I know international data speeds are 2g so I think thetering will be Imposible, unless you change the plan not sure though

Have you run into problems while being out of USA? Last week I had to travel into Mexico and dunno what the hell happen but my Data was going on and off randomly. It show it was on a mexican carrier getting 3g speed but soon as I tried to open gmail or use any chat app my data seem to get cut off?

Nope, so far i've used it in Taipei and Hong Kong. No problems here.

I travelled to Canada, Dubai, and Pakistan over the summer with my Note 3. Used data with no issues in all 3 countries. Had 4G in Islamabad in some parts. 4G in Dubai. Same with Canada. I'm sure you could tether with those speeds (I got between 5-10Mbps) at the minimum when on my phone was showing "4G."

Once we travel overseas did you just turn the phone on and connected to the avaliable network or did you use a sim, not sure how it works

Just turn on your phone. It will automatically connect to the best available network.

Currently in mexico, im having trouble connecting with movistar , my data seems to be connecting and disconnecting. The only fix i found is to turn off and on my data and itll work for a while. Seems like a bug because a couple months ago i had my note 3 and would work great.

As for tethering, its 2G speeds so its very slow. I tether to my sister as she has sprint.
