Since T-Mobile launched Simple Global, giving customers free data and texting in 140+ countries and destinations, global data usage by T-Mobile customers is up a staggering 75,355%! And, since T-Mobile included free roaming and calling to and from Mexico and Canada in 2015, data usage has jumped 2155%! Millions of happy T-Mobile customers roaming the planet and not a single one worried about overages or bill shock. That's probably because T-Mobile customers can roam the globe without worrying about additional charges on their bill when they come home.
Nearly twice as many T-Mobile customers (28%) said they would like to take their next vacation in someplace more exotic – Asia/ India, Central/ South America, Middle East or Africa – compared to carrier customers (just 15%). And, of course, with T-Mobile, overages are a thing of the past.įinally, Americans still have that pioneer spirit - 64% said they want to go someplace they've never been before for their vacation this year.īut, Un-carrier customers – not surprisingly – are a little more adventuresome. With international data and text included in T-Mobile plans, the cost for your entire family surf and text abroad is exactly zero. Which is bad news for the over half (53%) of people who admitted to waiting, at times, until they were already on their way before checking into information about their travel destination.Īnd then there's the Un-carrier. And, even if they remember ahead of time to sign everyone up for the carriers' supplemental international plans, it'll still run them and extra $280 a week. If you're with one of the old carriers, that can put you at risk of paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unnecessary charges.įor example, a week for a family of four on AT&T would have to pay more than $7,000 EXTRA per week if they used their phones normally abroad. And, among those who said they were aware of the costs, up to 80% of carrier customers vastly underestimated the actual tab for a week of international travel. Yet, ironically, 6 in 10 survey respondents (59%) said they had zero idea what it costs to use their smartphone outside the country. Staying connected is such a concern that 1 in 5 (21%) smartphone users report going to extreme measures to get connected, including eating at a restaurant they didn't like just to use the Wi-Fi, or even illegally pirating strangers' Wi-Fi connections! We also want those smartphones nearby because 58% of us are worried about not knowing the language in a foreign country and 66% are worried about getting lost. The No.1 reason respondents said they want their smartphone in hand is to stay connected with family and friends back home-particularly in an emergency. Over half (55%) of respondents said they'd rather lose their luggage than their phone and roughly two-thirds (66%) of us would give up our preferred seat on our flight before giving up our phones. Over two-thirds (69%) of survey respondents who'd been abroad in the past year took their smartphone with them when they traveled. Smartphones have become indispensable travel tools to most Americans – especially for global travelers. The margin of error is +/-3 percentage points. The study consisted of 1,005 nationally representative interviews among adults aged 18+. The findings are from a T-Mobile-sponsored poll conducted online via GfK's KnowledgePanel.

Wi-Fi and texting on domestic Gogo flights-included. "That's why T-Mobile ONE is perfect for travelers-because everything's included. And, when you're exploring new places, you shouldn't be stressing about going home to bill shock," said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. "Mobile's changing everything-especially travel. Results of a recent survey by T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and research firm GfK reveal how critical smartphones have become for international travel-and how potentially costly that could be for some who don't understand the costs of international roaming. BELLEVUE, Wash., Ap/PRNewswire/ - Spring is here, and millions of Americans are ready to get away this travel season-with their families, friends and, of course, smartphones.
