$130/month for 10GB data is kind of a ripoff. Granted, it's only for one phone, but right now I pay 25 Euros (~$30) for unlimited calls and SMS and 5GB data per month (extendable for 10 Euros per 5 GB whenever I run out) in Germany. And that's expensive compared to other EU countries...
- Aqua_Geek 12y agoAgreed. I lived in Germany for about 9 months last year. I had cell service for about 15€/month. It really sucked to come back to the US and pay $100/month for worse service.
- mikeash 12y agoA lot of it is coverage. I could pay substantially less if I was willing to go with a worse network. How much would it cost you for a plan that covered all of Europe?
- mnx 12y agoI don't think there's any kind of unlimited plan for the entire EU, not to mention other European countries.
- SixSigma 12y agoI get 17 countries roaming included in my $30 a month plan, see my other post
- jotm 12y agoAh, yes, EU-wide coverage is a problem - you need to get SIMs for every country you visit if you want the lowest rate. Thankfully, prepaid SIMs with low data prices are very common everywhere, but it certainly would be convenient if you could use one everywhere. As it is, calls and SMS on roaming are cheap, but data is still very expensive.
