Just been told by T-Mobile on upgrading that BlackBerry 10 devices (Q5/Q10/Z10) are not compatible with the £4/day worldwide unlimited data.
Looks like I'm sticking to SIM only till this potential EU law where I can use inclusive minutes/texts/data comes into force next year.

Looking at the price of the Google Nexus 4 Android phone - about £160 SIM free, unlocked, any network, I'd say SIM-only is the way to go!4kWp, Panels: 16 Hyundai HIS250MG, Inverter: SMA Sunny Boy 4000TLLocation: Bedford, Roof: South East facing, 20 degree pitch20kWh Pylontech US5000 batteries, Lux AC inverter,Skoda Enyaq iV80, TADO Central Heating control0 -
If you are travelling to Barcelona and want to be always connected for a reasonable price without the need of buying a SIM card, just take a look at this service of Tab2let, is a router renting service (3G and 4G)company!0

The updated guide on 29th April omits any information for BlackBerry devices. Just to point out the £4/day or £48/month unlimited data offer still applies to BlackBerry 7 devices on T-Mobile tariffs.0

Hi, I read on MSE's main Cheap Data Roaming section about Three's "Feel At Home". I wanted to make it clear that the data allowance is NOT unlimited. If you read the Feel At Home small print you'll see:
-- If you have all-you-can-eat data you can use up to 25GB.0 -
In the guide it says that though I can't use 3's SIM-Only Feel at Home feature until 30 days after I join, there is a "trick":"If you're not already a customer, but you're planning on visiting one of the covered countries, here's a neat trick. You can pick up a pay-as-you-go Sim, buy an add-on with an allowance, and access it immediately abroad."But on the 3 website, I can't find any PAYG SIM add-ons that add USA data.... Am I missing something?
What I actually want is about 3GB of 4G US data starting in early September for about three weeks, ideally including tethering (which I know 3 PAYG doesn't include, but I can live with that if the saving is enough). It'll cost me a couple of hundred quid with EE on my current contract, and 3rd-party SIM will be £80, also no tethering, and also the nightmare of trying to forward calls and txts reliably (failed miserably to get any txts to forward when I was in Mexico last year).
Any hints appreciated!

Is EE for you actually EE4G or T-M/Orange?
If you can find an old OS7 BlackBerry and get BB services then you can get unlimited data for £4 x 21 inc. tethering with T-M.0
