Univision, an MVNO that resells access to T-Mobile's network, today added no-cost international calling and texting to its service plans. Customers can now send messages to and call mobile and landlines in 200 countries, including much of Latin America, as well as roam in 15 countries. There is a catch. Customers will only have access to a certain amount of no-charge calling per month, and the amount will depend on which service plan they choose. For example, the $30 monthly service plan includes up to $15 worth of charges in international calling and texting. The $35 service plan includes $20 worth of charges, while the $45 and $55 service plans offer $45 and $55 worth of international charges, respectively. Univision said once the no-charge international dollar allotment is used, it will charge standard international rates for the remainder of the billing period. Univision Mobile was designed for Hispanics living in the U.S. and launched last May. It includes a portal with news, sports, and entertainment, as well as Univision apps, ringtones, wallpaper, and more content. Univision Mobile is available in Walmart and T-Mobile's Simply Prepaid stores. The new international calling is available starting today.
