Anyway thanks to the new international rate can be interesting to use some "Imode pass" options by Wind.

"Imode Pass" is simply the name, but you can use the APN that you prefer (internet.wind too)
So it's really better to activate a "Imode Pass 50" than a new "Mega No Limit" for the same data limit abroad... you can save 14€ and... you don't have any risk of bankrupt

Hmm, besides the horrible rate of 0.90€/kB, Mega is IMHO a really strange tariff solution.
The basic idea of packets of minutes/messages/data is that the customer pays in advance at "wholesale" unit rate which is lower than the regular rate. The only risk to the customer is "low usage risk" if the packet is used in a small part or not used at all before it expires. However, there's no "high usage risk" because after using all the packet the regular rate (or even lower) applies to the service. Thus the "high usage" customer who exceeds with limit of the packet pays less to compare with the situation of not purchasing the packet.

I was thinking about such possibility but I can see no real reason for so prohibitive pricing especially when the regular rate is 12.5€/MB - not little but comparable to other operators.
I think that's a dirty marketing trick basing on two ideas:
1) A greedy customer sees a bargain "You pay 20€ only and you get 3000€", not the formal equivalent "You pay 20€ only and you get 3.33 MB". Receiving profits at 150:1 ratio is hard to resist.
2) So far so good, at least as long as the customer doesn't exceed the limit. Otherwise, he/she doesn't see 900 €/MB (or 921.6€/MB if to count 1 MB=1024 kB) but "mere" 0.90€/kB. Who will think about it when 3000€ to be used seems to be so much and some people may even read MB in place of kB (as Andy did).

I wish I were wrong

From the 28/04/2007 offer MEGA will not be more valid for the traffic generated to the Foreign country. In this case the previewed rates to consumption will be applied to the Foreign country.

Wind Pass option has been prolonged for activation till 31/01/08, I suppose also the MEGA options have been prolonged as well.
