Why would they remove the $800 international roaming charge?

A lot of the time, such charges come up because the customer was unaware, not because they used it. I once made a call from whatsapp not realizing it wouldnt go through wifi, and ran up almost $150, but T-mobile was kind enough to remove it off the bill. Just customer-friendliness, more than anything else.

The wife and I took a cruise a few years ago and I tried my damnedest to turn off anything even remotely resembling "yes, you can have a data connection". I wanted to leave my phone on in case something happened with the kids (and so I'd have a watch), I just didn't want it to DO anything other than allow incomming calls. Got home to a $200 phone bill because there was a checkbox somewhere I'd missed and cruise-ship mobile data is abhorrently expensive.
It happens.
