T-Mobile has announced a new plan that eliminates extra international fees for data and text messaging — a move that should boost its appeal with world travelers, particularly in the business world. Starting Oct. 31, customers of T-Mobile's flagship Simple Choice plan won't have to worry about getting hit with so-called roaming fees if they fail to sign up for an international plan before they travel abroad.

Instead, customers travelling abroad will be able to surf and text in any of the 115 countries included in T-Mobile's global plan. Calls will have a global flat rate of 20 cents per minute. Countries in the plan include: Mexico, Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, India, Japan, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. This capability will be turned on automatically and carries no extra fee.

In addition, T-Mobile will make some money from selling higher-speed roaming plans - $15 for a day or $25 for a week. The free plan will be good enough for email, social networking, Web browsing and other common tasks, but customers who like to watch high-definition video might want the upgrade, the company said.
