T-Mobile USA Unlimited International BlackBerry E-mail plan questions

Hey. Does anyone here have the int'l e-mail plan that T-Mobile offers and knows exactly what is covered?

Are attachments covered? What about viewing longer e-mails (via More/More->All)? What about images in e-mails? HTML e-mail? I was wondering exactly what the limitations of this plan are because I am trying to figure out if it would be worth me getting this next time I travel outside the US as I was told it is pro-rated so if I am away for say 15 days I am charged only ~10 $ as opposed to the whole 19.99.

I currently understand that only e-mail is covered but recent (last 1.5 years?) developments like HTML e-mail, attachment support, and images within e-mail support make me wonder about exactly what is and what isn't covered.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone here who knew would lay out what is and isn't covered so I know whether it's worth it or not.

Thanks.
 
UPDATE: Well, well. My recent trip to Aruba with International email on, resulted in $300+ for international data roaming charges. They did confirm that they charge at a rate of $15 per mb for internet access but as the service states, the email was free. Internet access is anything including large attachments, browsing, VIIgo and weather background updates, etc. I did call customer service and pleaded my case from what I was told 1.5 years ago and was credited 100%. Am very happy with TMO Customer Service in resolving this matter! Hope this helps all others looking to take the BB's internationally. Now, saying this, does anyone know how to get international data at a reasonable cost?

Hello. I am very familiar with the TMO unlimited international data plan for 19.95 (prorated). I used it twice in the last year and half and as recent as last week in Aruba. a) you are correct, the price is prorated @ 20 per month. b) all data, including browsing, rss feeds via Viigo, large attachments, etc are included with no additional data roaming costs. I was streaming Slacker and IHeartRadio while on the beach. Just call the customer care a few days before as it can take 48 hours for them to provision the service and when you return call them to have it disabled. Well worth it. Hope this helps.

I was told it's email and internet is not included

I too was told that when calling customer service but this was my experience. No problems. I too would like to hear from other people as well.
