T mobile international

We are switching to T mobile from ATT. Will be leaving for Italy in a few weeks. Have any of you used your T mobile phone overseas? Need something with lots of data available probably because my daughter is getting her first phone right before the trip. Any tips?

I do not have T-Mobile but have gone overseas several times in the last few years. What we typically do is buy a cheap data only sim card when we get over there and communicate through WhatsApp.

Was in Italy for a week in December. I had enough data but I also didn't stream video while over there. Can't .make phone calls but data and text were fine.

I'm on verizon prepaid. You can let them know you'll be overseas and its $10/day.

Went to the UK and Ireland on T-mobile last year. Was just fine but used more data than their free amount and had to buy some more while I was there.

I used T-mobile just fine in the UK and Europe recently. Prior I was Verizon, and used that on five continents burning through those company data caps with ease. 
Giving your daughter her first phone before an overseas trip is... unwise. Maybe, maybe, if you absolutely turn off her data and lock her out of it, only letting her scroll TikTok and upload pictures for her friends on wifi. Maybe. You've seen hundreds of anecdotal comments about college graduate adults ending up with huge bills, it's too much for a first timer. Yes, you can get her an eSIM for a local EU carrier, but does she understand that she can blow through a 5GB allocation in an afternoon scrolling Instagram? Probably not.

You guys have confirmed it. It's possible to graduate from the college on I-65 exit 151 and be illiterate.

Used our T Mobile in UK and Italy and Greece with ease. Purchased the high speed data plans each time online easily. Makes it faster. You do run out of the high speed portion if you use it a good bit for downloads or surfing the web. It will still work.
