The Simyo "Handy-Internetpaket 1GB" at gprs data rates is too painful to describe! I am sure that most users will abandon the service next month. Lets hope that eplus starts its UMTS roll out early in 2009.

By the way, Simyo sends two activation sms messages:

First message: "Die Buchung des Handy-Internetpaketes 1 GB wurde entgegengenommen. Die Option beginnt mit Erhalt der Start-SMS. Die nächste Verlängerung erfolgt am 17.12.2008."
-"Your request for the 1 GB Handy-Internetpacket has been received. The option begins when you receive the Start-SMS. The option will be continued automatically in 30 days time (unless you cancel the option sooner)."

The option only begins when you receive the second message: "Ihr Handy-Internetpaket 1GB ist nun eingerichtet. Viel Spaß beim Surfen im mobilen Internet. Eine Verlängerung erfolgt in 30 Tagen."
-"Your 1 GB Handy-Internetpacket has now been activated. Have fun surfing the mobile internet (at unbearable gprs data speeds)! We hope that you will use the same package next month - even though we know that you won´t!"

After suffering gprs speeds for one month, most people will gladly upgrade to HSDPA with Telekom, Vodafone or O2.
