Good news to UK residents. T-Mobile announces the introduction of two new international calling packages, offering a wide range of low-cost options for all new and existing Flext customers. Available from 1st April, the International Pass and International Open Pass mean there’s no need to worry about calling cards or lengthy access codes anymore. Customers can make international calls from their mobiles at competitive prices. 

International Pass

The International Pass offers three options, each providing a bundle of minutes to a different region of the world. The three options available are:

1. USA & Canada Pass – £5 per month for 125 minutes (4p per minute to mobiles and landlines)
2. European & Australasia Pass – £5 per month for 50 minutes (10p per minute to mobiles and landlines)
3. Caribbean Pass – £7.50 per month for 50 minutes (15p per minute to mobiles and landlines)

International Open Pass

The International Open Pass offers the peace of mind of flat rate pricing to international landlines and mobiles for customers that call T-Mobile’s top selection of countries around the world. The Pass consists of two options:

1. International Open Pass Light – for £2.50 per month, international calls to both fixed lines and mobiles cost 20p per minute
2. International Open Pass Max – for £5.00 per month, international calls to landlines cost just 4p per minute, and calls to mobiles only 15p per minute

The new passes extend T-Mobile’s range of international calling options, which also includes the Eastern European Pass for Pay As You Go customers. Launched in December, the Eastern European Pass offers excellent call rates to nine countries: Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia. Calls to landlines within these countries are charged at 5p a minute, whilst calls to mobiles are fixed at just 15p a minute, with a minimum call charge of 10p. The service is open to all new and existing Pay As You Go customers free of charge. Customers wishing to take advantage of these special rates can opt-in by texting INT to 441.

"Whether you call the same country or a number of different ones, T-Mobile has an option to make international calling simple," says Vanessa Potts, head of post pay at T-Mobile UK. "The new passes are designed to bring our Flext customers closer to their friends and family – however far away – to share special moments without having to worry about calling costs or lengthy access codes. The passes include our customers'top calling destinations – countries that they call on a regular basis – ensuring they are as inclusive as possible."
