Search through your phone settings and enable all roaming if you find any. Won't cost you extra money since it's prepaid service.

Hi @Lorrainelane if it is data roaming, did you enable Mobile data roaming on your phone?
if it is voice roaming you had trouble, can you manually change the Network to 2G??

What were those trouble shooting techniques? Just takes a device which can manually connect to the T-Mobile network down there, you may want to turn Roaming "on", and for calling you would need to force the device to the 2G network as the 3G was decommissioned some time ago.

Once VoLTE is active on your plan in the near future, you should have better experience with calling in the USA if you have a VoLTE enabled phone.
