Had a quick search on this but couldn't pinpoint anything..basically is it possible for me to;
Use my Samsung Galaxy S3 in Canada, somehow retaining the internet usage? Tmobile have told me i can add 'booster packs' to text and call internationally. What about internet?
I will be taking a laptop too, I Imagine to use the internet on this i'll have to sign up to a canadian internet provider? Will be out there until close of 2013
thanks

Data (internet) is either paid for by including it in a cell phone package, an add on pack or else with a data stick (or pay per use).

The blackberry also worked with the Internet but that got expensive over time so it would be worth checking on the charges with Tmobile.
Enjoy
