Since we're on the subject of T-Mobile USA, who was kind enough to send me a=
notification via SMS that my 10 megabytes of roaming data allotment was al=
l used up yesterday while driving a long stretch of I-77 between somewhere i=
n mid-Ohio all the way to somewhere about Wytheville, VA, I'm pretty sure th=
e fine print says the unlimited data is only useful while on their network w=
hich we all know to be anything but nationwide. =20
Heck, right now I'd just be happy to get some sort of data at all riding the=
rural stretches of major highways.
The upside is my bill dropped considerably by switching from AT&T so it goes=
both ways.
