iPhone world data congress

I’m in Berlin right now, and I’m really really missing the always on Internet, I enjoy in the US. Normally in the US I have a 3G card and my iPhone with me, both of which have essentially unlimited data plans.

Now I get that this isn’t necessarily achievable in many countries. Not everywhere has unlimited cheap data, however what I would appreciate is not paying $20/mb. This is so expensive it’s essentially pointless.

How about this for a plan? When I’m roaming in Germany I can pay the German iPhone plan’s rates for data pro-diem. So over here they pay €50/mo for their iPhone plan which includes 300mb of data. Let’s assume €30/mo of that is the data plan. So when I’m visiting Germany I would pay €1/day to get 10mb of data access.

The money should be kept by T-Mobile who do the iPhone in Germany. On the other hand when my friends visit the US they should get unlimited data for $1/day (unlimited data plan in US is $30/mo). Apple should really start enforcing this amongst their exclusive carriers since without data the iPhone is essentially crippled. I’m also not suggesting this should affect voice calls.

Voice calls are still getting routed via the US, but that shouldn’t be true of internet so I don’t see the big deal.

  • I just bought an Iphone and I'm comfortable using it!
  • They have also added all sorts of enterprise features, by licencing ActiveSync. Maybe you are not the kind of customer who was interested in that, but that was a HUGE change that they made.

    I think the iPhone is a great way to stay connected to the community around you. I do agree with the point that sometimes, accessing its features are just too expensive. I think a plan that makes its clients happy will in the end benefit them, rather than making a crowd-appalling expensive plan that turns people away.

    Great points!
  • Oh effin god!! really..? gosh..in that case I would not be able to enjoy my iPhone there. How about instead of using yer iPhone use PC instead.

    Everybody is hooked in the internet and is hard to live without for some. Iphone is a great way for them to keep updated online. Unlimited data plan is really a good deal for them.

    I love my iPhone also. I'm addicted to the features and can't imagine I hesitated to invest in one.

    Thanks for the article!
  • I really don't understand why mobile providers dont offer this exact same service, it would make life easier for everyone, I agree totally, the price of data when roaming in another country is insane! $20/mb? Not even worth checking your email for.

  • A common misunderstanding is that by this method a hypothesis can be proven or tested. Generally a hypothesis is used to make predictions that can be tested by observing the outcome of an experiment. If the outcome is inconsistent with the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is rejected. However, if the outcome is consistent with the hypothesis, the experiment is said to support the hypothesis.
    This careful language is used because researchers recognize that alternative hypotheses may also be consistent with the observations. In this sense, a hypothesis can never be proven, but rather only supported by surviving rounds of scientific testing and, eventually, becoming widely thought of as true (or better, predictive), but this is not the same as it having been proven. A useful hypothesis allows prediction and within the accuracy of observation of the time, the prediction will be verified. As the accuracy of observation improves with time, the hypothesis may no longer provide an accurate prediction.
    In this case a new hypothesis will arise to challenge the old, and to the extent that the new hypothesis makes more accurate predictions than the old, the new will supplant it.
  • Great to see ya back on-line bro! And point taken bout expensive access ;0(
