T-Mobile offering unlimited calls and high-speed data in South Korea for 2018 Olympics

Starting on February 7 through March 20, T-Mobile customers will enjoy unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE data in South Korea, whether you're viewing the Winter Olympics or simply traveling.

The Winter Games are full of unforgettable moments, and now, T-Mobile customers in South Korea can snap, tweet and share those big moments without worrying about bill shock when they get back home.

Being able to stay connected overseas is important. AT&T's approach is similar, but a bit less complicated and with fewer options. All they have to do is use their plan. According to T-Mobile's press release, normal smartphone use while overseas could cost an AT&T customer around $3,000 per week, as an example. An global data plan is typically required to stay connected whenever traveling aboard, but T-Mobile is giving its customers free unlimited data and calling during the entire competition.
