TNZ had earlier confirmed at least one Windows Mobile Smartphone Worldmode - the Samsung Ace, which should be here in April. I will post more details later tomorrow.

nzbnw: BlackBerry data roaming on Telecom is $30/MB.


The BlackBerry data roaming will vary from $8/MB (Australia) through $30/MB (Eastern Europe, South America), in line with the also announced Telecom Data Roaming Zones.

I talked to the product manager today and asked this. He gave me this information and I thought it was strange, so I asked again to confirm.

In any case, I am sending him an e-mail (which he should receive on his 8830 and reply quickly since that's what he says he can do now)...

Interesting, I just checked, and all my information points of $30 / MB all zones. I will try and confirm with the roaming help desk.

Seems pretty clear on the TNZ website

http://www.telecom.co.nz/content/0,8748,205860-203917,00.html

Data roaming broken into different zone based pricing, lke voice.

Blackberry roaming is different to normal data roaming. AFAIK it is $30/MB in all zones, at this stage.

I looked at all pages on www.telecom.co.nz/blackberry - including files aptly named "Blackberry 8830 Terms and conditions.pdf" and "Blackberry roaming.pdf" and there isn't any mention, anywhere that Blackberry data roaming is charged differently.

Well, WD may not know then... And this puts us back in the $30/MB?????? WTH are they thinking again.

Antonios et al... It's confirmed: Telecom BlackBerry data roaming pricing is divided in zones.

It seems that no one inside Telecom really knew the whole thing until this came out this week.

Again: it is split in zones, like all other roaming.
