Tethering while Intl Travel

[Georgio87ss]

Hi there, has anyone has experience tethering their BB with the Intl. BB plan with Tmo?

I think that TMO's intl plan is only for email. Using data abroad is charged by the data useage if the cs rep I talked to gave me the correct info.

I guess I'll find out soon since I am heading to Europe next week.
I find it difficult that AT&T would not charge a penny for tethering while traveling abroad and Tmo would.
I'll report back soon.

Please do report back. I'm traveling to Europe later this year, so your info will certainly be of value.

Did anyone ever figure this out?

I travel to Canada alot for 2 weeks. My monthly bill for those 2 weeks are usually about $250 more due to phone calls and data. No charges for email and text messages.

When I had TMobile I was pleasnatly surprised at the low data charges, in the UK however phone calls were expensive. If you are tehering then this is more of a problem as there is a much lower limit on the number of Mb you can use and tehering to your computer quickly uses this up. I noticed similar charges in Singapore.
I have now changed to ATT, and my bill was higher when travelling in the UK due to phone calls. After noticing this I purchased a cheap cell phone for the calls in the uK and just used my blackberry for data and emails much better cost wise.

Now I travel to Canada a lot, and tend to use BBM to communicate with (sms messages are too expensive). I am careful with Tethering. (I have 50 Mb on the international plan, and have not noticed any high charges providing I do not exceed this number.
