UM Data sim card bundle

bourbonkiller · **some news from teltarif.ch -** 22-04-2008, 17:14

just minutes ago, an article about the new prepaid data bundle of UM appeared on www.teltarif.ch. No real news but it clarifies some point of the offer.

Existing coustomers will be able to switch to the new data offer within the next weeks. The data-tariff is regarding this article definately NOT the same than UM +423. The data-sim will only register to the 60 networks that have data-roaming agreement. That might be the reason why the voice tariff is slightly higher.

They have mentioned twice that if you move over to the data-tariff, only will have coverage within the 60 data-roaming countries.

In my opinion the ICQ-SIM tariff is still the better choice with a daily setup fee instead of a session setup fee. Beside that I think this offer might not last too long with this high prices. Weeks ago they would had the best prices for data. Just recently three austria published their new data-roaming prices and they offer 0.28 Euro per MB in Switzerland (swisscom) and about the same for germany (e-plus and vodafone D2). You might argue that this are contract prices and not prepaid prices but that are the best rates I know at the moment...

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.
