The billing is per

ROAMING NO-LIMIT
Starting on May 5th 2008 a new offer for data roaming is available with Wind. It's called Roaming No-Limit, but it has many limits indeed.
With a monthly fee of
€ 3.00 you can have the same tariff for data both in Italy and while roaming on some selected countries, i.e.
€ 3.00/MB (1KB increments, no set-up fee).
The countries where this offer works are:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA.
No matter which operator you will roam on, only the country counts.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE OPTIONS?

All options will renovate automatically every month. When your credit goes down to 0€ you won't be able to use the option anymore until you refill. Consider also that Wind will go on debiting the options also with no credit, so it's important to deactivate the option if you are not using them for a while.
You can activate 1 option only every month.
In case you want to deactivate the option just send another SMS to 4533 writing "NO" instead of "YES" in the above mentioned activation strings.
