Piranha Mobile Sim Card

Noticed a few folks posting here on how good the Pirhana data prices are. Maybe it's the engineer in me, but can anyone confirm that? I see on their web site that they show they charge by the Mb. In my world, that is mega-bit. Other carriers usually charge by the MB (Mega-byte).. If they are charging by Mb you would have to mutiply thier rate by 8 to convert it to MB... I know it's a trivial issue to question if a letter is capital or lower case, but when it means a factor of 8, that is a BIG price difference...

Anyone know the real story?

You are quite right it is a typo it should read MB.

Thank you for pointing this out.
