Default Unlimited international BIS

Is there any way to get this on AT&T? I know there was a 65 USD unlimited international (and national) data package, but it was discontinued when AT&T launched tyheir limited data plans.

What would be the cheapest way to get this service? I have a viva mexico plan, so I do not get charged for roaming in Mexico, yet data is $5 per MB, which is crazy! I can purchase the international plans, but it's a pain to be monitoring your usage and would prefer just something unlimited.

Anybody has any tips?

T-Mobile and Verizon are the last two standing with Unlimited International BIS.

Cheapest way? Start service with a carrier that still offers unlimited data for BlackBerry phones in the country you will be visiting, get your Bold unlocked somewhere online, and you're good. Ish.

Must be nice to be able to leave the country for an extended period, for personal reasons.

Well, I have a company iPhone, but I use my blackberry for personal reasons. But even the company won't give me international data since they say there's no way to get an unlimited (and known expense) plan.

Telcel has BIS, but changing sim, means I lose my american number and my minutes for calling people. And a 3rd device is not an option, I have enough with carrying 2 devices =S

I will keep getting the 20 or 50 MB plan and scan for wifi's on every new place I arrive... But definately they should bring some easier/cheaper data plans, their current list doesn't make much sense...

I'll keep my $20 Blackberry Unlimited International E-mail as long I can, especially since all data router through the RIM network is included, not just email...

If you could show me where T-Mobile has unlimited int'l data, I really appreciate it because I travel a fair bit to Japan. Last time I checked it looked like they billed $15/MB in most places.

Go to the T-Mobile website, simulate a Blackberry order.
Under the Services in the Internet & Email section you will find BlackBerry Unlimited International E-mail for $19.99.

You can also google it.

Thanks. When I would try and locate it anywhere else on the site, I could never find anything like that. Cool.
