I just phoned T-Mobile UK to check what it would cost me to use my BlackBerry when in Holland and the call charges seem normal but this is the first Data plan I've ever had on a phone and I was shocked when told the charge for international data: �7.50 per Mb (USD $15), I'm currently paying �7.50 per month for UNLIMITED data so how can �7.50 per Meg be justified?
Is there any kind of discount available on T-Mo UK for data? Or is there any way to absolutely CUT OFF my data when abroad? I don't want any unexpected charges!
You will be please to hear that the EU regulator has told the mobile phone companies that they must cut text and roaming charges when abroad. This was in my paper (Daily Mail) today and T Mobile will be announcing new prices in the next few weeks. Just don't expect a drastic overnight cut!!
There is a way to turn data off, I think but am not 100% sure that you just turn the wireless off and text and calls still work.
