you are asking the people on this forum (non-telecom staff) to confirm if the printout of price plans you got from a telecom store is correct?

I think ti is fairly safe to assume that if the staff give you a printout from what looks like thier intranet, then it is probably correct.

I'm looking at someone with a 'trusted' and 'telecom' badges to confirm. more interested in the prepaid side, as I would need one shortly for another project where the person only needs email on the run, not as much voice.

Edit

Oh if this is true, this is a world first, as in the UK they were offering a packaged deal on a prepay system where you pay for the phone itself and then get unlimited internet. Never I seen this packaged this way, awesome XT!

Be careful when quoting the ‘unlimited’ mobile data plan in the UK. The Vodafone one actually has a ‘fair usage’ limit of 500MB (hardly ‘unlimited’). although it is very cheap – 8GBP per month or something.

I was thinking more of the T-Mo pay once deal, $262 US roughly 12 months free interent, pay as you go voice.

Edit to previous, other than Indonesia ... this would be a world first.

Very good call. Also extends to those employees that think they are anonymous that post here with their subtle "pro their company" and "anti the other company" comments

I tried to call through to their Sales channel as i was keen on the Blackberry Prepaid plans but they mentioned that it wasnt available so im not sure if what you picked up is legitimate.

Thanks Neal, exactly what I wanted confirmation on before I go and splash out on a bold.

Slightly unrelated, but can a XT nework Blackberry with BES service connect to a BES server using the Vodafone NZ SRP?

When I called Telecom about going on the Prepay 240mb plan I was told the smallest data plan they had for prepay was 500mb. I asked them to confirm twice and they insisted no $6, $12, or $18 data plans exist on prepay. I think I was talking with a call centre in Philippines... when I asked about on account they said that wasn't there area but they could put me onto someone who knew.

i believe the prepay center is in manilla and on account is primarily NZ based with some work done by minilla.
