    Ah, thanks. Shame the poster hadn't included this detail and I wouldn't have wasted 10 minutes searching the T-Mobile site for a non-existent offer.

    It does exist. Please DO go ahead and waste money whilst abroad....

    It does exist, but is of no use to the majority of mobile internet users. Or at least, isn't much of a bargain when you factor in the cost of switching to Blackberry from Android, Windows, Symbian or iOS.
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
    In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
    Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

    Considering I pay £14/mth for 1000mins, unlimited UK data, unlimited landlines and unlimited txts with a free BlackBerry 9790 I see no issue, but as I said, if you want to spend silly prices running an iBrick or Android instead, go ahead...

    It doesn't exist in the way that you originally stated it. It applies only to data that is routed through Blackberry's servers.

    Well, that's £4 a month more than I'm paying now so add £48 a year to your deal.

    I don't. As a matter of fact, I've never paid a penny for European web access.

    I stated it as the "World Email Booster" because, funnily enough, that is what is called by T-Mobile.

    The link posted in post #4 is NOT the genuine T-Mobile site.

    T-Mobile don't post it. I managed to find it in a T&C for European charges by chance.

    Here is a forum post from T-Mobile which has a response from a T-M staff member which confirms it.

    And here is the original post I have put on here discussing it.

    Other things being equal, it is by far the best value option to use data abroad. It is the only reason why I am with T-Mobile.

    Whilst the link that I posted isnt from the T-Mobile site (as I couldnt find details of it on there) then forums post you link to has the same shortcode BBROAM to 879 as the link that I posted which would indicate that it is the same service i.e. for BB data only.

    Correct, where did I say or claim it was available to all phones?
