I’ve just landed in Los Angeles on the way to Qualcomm’s Uplinq 2011 event and got this text through from Vodafone. I don’t know who authors these things. I wonder if they are deliberately going out of their way to confuse me. Have a read of this:
Welcome to The USA. Calls cost 135ppm to make & 100ppm to receive. SMS 35p + your home rate. Data costs start from £3 per 1MB per day. Click http://live.vodafone.com/zr/sa1 for free price info or call +441635691700.
It’s all fairly normal until we get to the data costs. What the hell does £3 per 1MB per day mean? What is this ‘per day’ bit? A mistake? Does that mean I will only be charged three quid a day? Or… It’s got to be a mistake? I dunno. Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

It is the “from” that interests me. SO if you use 1mb in a day it will cost £3. After that you will need to sell your internal organs to pay.
Oh that’s a good point!
Ewan,
Can I use the BB screen shot in this post for a blog post of my own? Also do you know if Voda roams on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US?
Thanks,
Jeb
Of course. Go ahead.
Voda roams on both networks in the States.
Thanks Ewan.
What does ppm mean?
