Signal boost: international calls from T-Mobile

[redbird]

I just found out, in online chat, that during the pandemic T-Mobile is offering free international calls to a large number of countries, though not all (and sometimes only to landline numbers). This isn't something T-Mobile bothered to tell us about; I happened to be talking to someone else who lives in the US and has family in Britain. I have emailed my mother to let her know that if she sees my number as incoming, it doesn't mean there's a crisis worth paying $3/minute to call her rather than emailing and asking her to call me (which is cheap).

Their website has a list of countries this offer applies to.

ETA: My informant says that they got a text from T-Mobile saying that they are being billed for their recent call but also will be credited for it, so fingers crossed.
