New iPhone Global Roaming Plan For Data Not As Good As Blackberry

Source: andyabramson.blogs.com

If you’re an international traveler and in love with you iPhone, but don’t want the big data roaming bill, AT&T is offering SOME relief with a new pricing plan that you can turn on and off.

Even so, the new plan isn’t as good as a Blackberry plan which for about $20.00 a month just about makes it a no brain decision if you are a heavy email and web browsing user.

That said, when a 3G iPhone comes out (likely February or March) this is where it gets interesting for Truphone, whose future release of an iPhone application that was announced at DEMO in September could mean you would save a fortune, as long as you minded your minutes and didn’t chew up all your bytes. To get an idea of what the value is, check out Alec Saunders’ post of yesterday.
