Technically speaking, I pay EUR8/MB when ROAMING in Germany with an Austrian SIM, and EUR11/MB when I roam with a German SIM in Austria. One thing that you might consider is, if going with a SIM from abroad might be not cheaper. (E.g. roaming with my Austrian T-Mobile SIM card would be cost EUR15/MB in Canada. *g* Remembering the joys of roaming: People call you in the night because they don't know about the timezone you are in.) Andreas > in the neighborhood of $1000-2000/month. We have awful data plans That's probably to expensive for most people, which again kills they calculation. At least our local telcos started to comprehending that they need a mass market product to recoup the fees they paid for the UMTS licenses ;) Andreas _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
