iPhone Data Plans in Mexico Cause Pre Launch Anxiety Protests: related news

AT&T offering cheaper international iPhone data plans

As we have come to learn, some of AT&T's iPhone plans may be a bit on the expensive side at times, but the carrier at least gives you unlimited data access. Of course, if you go abroad with your iPhone, you'll be paying quite a bit more for data unless you have an existing data roaming plan. The iPhone is a bit more data-hungry than other 3G devices, so in order to capitalize on international travelers' needs, AT&T has added two new international data plans. $120 a month gets you a hefty 100MB of data while you're on the other side of the world, and shelling out $200 per month gets you 200MB of data. The plans can be added and removed any time you want.

Rogers defends iPhone data: 'better than some'...

Rogers Wireless is justified in its limited data plans as many other iPhone-carrying nations are doing the same or are more restrictive, a company spokeswoman tells Electronista. The Canadian company argues that a "majority" of international iPhone carriers have capped data and believes its plan to be better than these, citing as example Orange France plans that include a 500MB 'reasonable use' limit versus the 2GB maximum on Rogers' best iPhone plan. The company also tries to justify the caps by claiming that unlimited use would require customers pay for more than they need.

Rumour: Apple to get charitable with RED iPhone?

red-iphone-3g.jpgMuch of the gossip in the queues for iPhone 3G on launch day here in the UK was over whether people wanted a black or a white model, before we all found out that we’d only have a choice of black. Who knows when the white version will touch down (if at all) in the UK. Still, if you don’t lead a monochrome lifestyle, you’ll be pleased by the strong rumours that Apple is planning to launch a red iPhone for Christmas. Or rather a RED iPhone, as it’ll apparently be part of the charitable (PRODUCT) RED campaign, which Apple has supported in the past with scarlet iPods. It’s a good cause, but does anyone really want a red iPhone? That said, if Apple ever launches a green one that benefits eco charities, I might be tempted to switch to it…

AT&T Revamps International iPhone Data Plans - For the second time in less than a year...

It appears that AT&T has yet again revamped their international data plan prices for the iPhone. In a plan unveiled last November, customers shelled out $24.99 for 20MB or $59.99 for 50MB when traveling in 67 AT&T-approved countries. Starting Wednesday, AT&T users can add (and drop) two new international traveling plans to their current plan at any time: 100MB for $120, and 200MB for $200. "AT&T has worked diligently to provide affordable options for international roaming because the feature-rich mobile experience of iPhone is indispensable to users," insists AT&T. That, and many customers were having to take out second mortgages to pay their vacation iPhone bills.

Even though Rogers' rate plans for iPhone generally angered Canadians, it appears its meager efforts to placate users with a $30 promotional 6GB data plan was enough for "tens of thousands" of Canadian iPhone buyers. According to a Reuters report, Rogers says that it sold out of iPhone stock in most cities, and that the iPhone 3G launch was the "best weekend of handset sales in Rogers' history."
