United mobile got a cash infusion according to this quote from RCR Wireless News "United Mobile: Accel Partners and Grazia Equity invested $15 million into United Mobile, a low-cost roaming mobile operator. The Swiss company offers international travelers prepaid SIM cards that provide voice and data services at low rates worldwide." Looks like they invested it in improving their data services.
I probably would lean towards the new data offer because it covers Caribbean and North America, even though it is at higher rates than ICQ. Agree the ICQ data rates are better, but I don't travel enough to Europe to make that worthwhile to me. Agree on comment the new data offer sounds good for light use like checking email. I'm thinking of just getting the sim card and adding my own data card. Wonder if they will send out an email encouraging people to switch over like they did to get people to go from UM to UM+ service(the TelTarif article sounds like they might). A free sim card would definitely attract my interest.
