A new type of pay as you go mobile broadband for internet access abroad
Tags:
Talk about expanding your mobile broadband coverage! Virgin Media has just announced a new “Travel Pass” system that lets their customers purchase mobile broadband connection time while abroad at a flat rate. The pricing available by the hour or by the day eliminates surprise roaming charges one is apt to find on their bill after using their laptop or other mobile internet device while abroad. Now we can use our iPhone or Blackberry Curve without discovering that a simple call for directions cost us several quid. The passes are available in several ranges with a mobile broadband daily rate of 10 Pounds. This is perfect for light use such as checking and sending emails. The packages from Virgin are intended to directly compete with recent announcement from Orange Mobile of a 2MB for 2 pounds roaming abroad deal. Special pricing for users of iPhones allows for 10Mb download for a set price of just 5 pounds.
So which of these offerings is the best? Both of these plans amount to a form of pay as you go mobile broadband for travelers in as much as charges are based solely on time spent. But by opting in for these plans the savings are considerable. Standard mobile broadband roaming charges from Orange cost 3 Pounds per MB.
A valid comparison of both Orange Mobile’s EU mobile broadband plans and those offered by Virgin Media by way of their new Travel Pass programme can easily be found online.
