Local SIM card alternative

The plan was never called "unlimited international data", it was called "BlackBerry Unlimited International E-mail".

For years email and Internet data were billed the same - I guess they finally found a way to extract the right information to bill people.

Thanks for the warning though, I'm sure a lot of us relied on that plan for free international access to any data...

And why move away from them because of this? Good luck finding a similar plan elsewhere

AT&T is $24.95 for 20MB...

I am travelling in the UK and have just installed a local SIM card (co-incindentaly TMO). For GBP 7.50 ($11) I get 2 hours of US & Canada calls (can't beat that) and for GBP 2.50 ($4) I get 5 days of data, capped at 25MB - VOIP & IM not permitted either.
Only problem with a local SIM is I temporarily have a different number - but at 10c per minute I can afford to call my own US number and adjust the message to tell folks to call me here in the UK
