I only care about the facts, Steve.

Like most people, I don't care if T-Mobile or AT&T or Verizon comes out on
top simply because I have an open choice of all three. I'm not being paid to
shill any of them so I can objectively tell the truth about all of them.

The only thing that matters is the objective truths - one of which is that
T-Mobile has free roaming in the USA and in Europe - whether or not you
happen to like that objective truth.
 <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=t-mobile+us+roaming+agreements+partners>

Running that search, the first hit is this "Domestic Roaming Data"
 <https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/domestic-roaming-data>
 "In locations in the U.S. where we do not yet have network coverage,
  we partner with other networks. When you travel outside of T-Mobile's 
  U.S. network areas, your phone automatically switches to use one of our
  wireless network partners where available when you have data roaming
  enabled. T-Mobile has two classifications of domestic roaming networks
  based on the agreement we have in place with each partner, standard 
  and preferred."

Unfortunately that hit doesn't say when you'll know if/when you're roaming
and on which type of partner until you get to about 80% of your quota.

The next hit on that roaming search is the T-Mobile/AT&T roaming agreement.
 <https://www.t-mobile.com/news/press/t-mobile-usa-and-att-wireless-sign-roaming-agreement-expanding>
But it's so old as to be almost useless as who knows what's still in place.

Digging through the hits, there isn't much about T-Mobile Roaming Agreements
that is recent information where I'd like to see some of your references on
the matter so that I can make an objective assessment of the situation.

The technical problem is that while I can tell if I'm on roaming, it's a
bunch of button presses, and even if I create a Shortcut to the Android
Activity that controls and describes whether or not I'm roaming, I would
need to be pressing it all the time.
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.settings.mobilenetworks>

What I'd need is a warning system that buzzes the phone whenever the phone
is roaming. Does that exist? Dunno. Let's look first.
 <https://play.google.com/store/search?q=roaming%20notification&c=apps>

These are all free and ad free google free app hits related to roaming.
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pyo.frtbitzandpixels.com.networknotification>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glasswire.android>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.datacounter>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radioopt.widget>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.networkInfoIi>
etc.

Note for those in the EU there is this free ad free gsf free data watcher:
 EU Roaming Data Watcher, by Marcelo Araujo <com.martindoudera.euroaming>

I'll test some of them out to see if they can log when/if I'm connected to a
roaming tower given I have my free roaming turned on 100% of the time and
yet I've never received any notification from T-Mobile via SMS (as they
claim they will send) notifying me that I'm at 80% of my roaming max limit.
