I think it's better to compare this one with the BEL+SMS+WEB Smart 100 from vodafone.
And vodafone has a datalimit while t-mobile gives unlimited data with a Fair Use Policy.
(I'm Dutch)omgitsalive likes this.08-09-11 07:18 AMLike 1 - My current Vodafone contract has a Fair Use Policy as well, but we all know that things are gonna change very soon.
But thanks for your input! Updated the first post.08-09-11 07:26 AMLike 0 -
Also you get 1000MB data which I won't consume within a month (300MB might be critical).
I think I like those "B+S+W Smart" Contracts!08-09-11 08:01 AMLike 0 - Thanks for the Renewed Insights. I really think it will be worth €15,- a year for using Internet when Travelling (during the Holidays).

NB: Will update with Hi-contracts later today.08-09-11 08:03 AMLike 0 - I think it's their way of lowering the Data Overload on their Data Servers. You can also think of it this way: "Who needs BBM when you can Text anyone for Free?" SMS would still be Faster and more Stable dan BBM, especially when the Coverage in your area is low...08-09-11 08:13 AMLike 0

Or if you have B + S + W Smart and the other one has Hi Messaging contract.
(which is great.. free Texting between different platforms will be a lot easier08-09-11 08:21 AMLike 0 - Sending BBM text messages only will not get you anywhere near any datalimit Remember that BlackBerry compresses all data.
I think I'll pass up on the 'Smart' and just get a regular B+S+W 200. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway (Home, parents, in-laws, work, all Wifi ).08-09-11 08:48 AMLike 0 -

You even can use your Navigation Apps without the concern you're getting charged for that use.
For example: I went 2 weeks on Holiday this summer and it costed me �12,- and that's because I didn't reply on any text, only made short phonecalls and where not able to use Internet. When I'd had the Smart Contract, I'd wouldn't have to worry about anything for only �3,- extra, that's the Price of 1.5 Daily Data Bundles.
It's definatly worth it to me =).08-09-11 09:22 AMLike 0 - I'm glad I got a new Vodafone BSW 300 SIM only contract right before the 1st of August. Which means 300 minutes/sms and 1GB data including BIS for 20 euro a month the first year, 30 euro a month the second year and 35 euro after the contract period. Only downside is having to pay full retail price for the 9900, but I'm OK with that.08-09-11 09:36 AMLike 0

- The idea off having "Unlimited" Data while I'm on Holiday (which is definatly Less than 60 days a year) and also having no extra Costs on Calling or Texting while on Holiday will definatly saves me more than the �15,- a year they charge me with the Smart Contract.
