"World Data Option Month" by Swisscom - Page 2

It seems those are the rates only for post-paid contracts, which from Andrea's post do appear to be available to foreigners, but I don't think any of us has actually done it.

I think a couple of the others have a prepaid tariff on Swisscom, so perhaps they'll add comment when they see this

Both Vodafone UK, and Cingular postpaid have similar "world" options. around $130/month for 100MB internationally. But, using 3g data, do you know how many (minutes) you could use up 100MB?!?! A good hour of surfing and such, NOT including streaming, can burn 20mb and more. It's not that generous..... you're better off buying daily WiFi -- usually, in the same country, you can use the same daily log on info, in multiple places, providing it's the same WiFi provider.

since I am used to the highly priced data-roaming charges of switzerland (especially swisscom) I also did a search for cheap data-roaming worldwide and found the site of roadpost.

They offer a weekly rental of blackberry and also a subscription which seems the cheapest I found at the moment:

They charge 25 Dollars per month and 4 Dollar per day for absolut FLAT use of GPRS in 90+ countries. To top this, you will get a free (refurbished) blackberry.

Have a look at their website:

http://www.roadpost.com/blackberry/annual_plan.asp

And they only charge you the daily rate if you realy use your blackberry, otherwise you don't have to pay the daily rate.

By the way, does anyone know who provides the GSM-service for this provider?
