Meanwhile I'm looking at the international data plans and the $50/month plan which you can turn on/off at will might save me some money. I like the unlimited plan because I don't have to worry when I'm on travel, as I am many times a year.
Yeah, the unlimited is actually still available if your company has an enterprise plan with AT&T, but they have to add it to your line for a whole year, which is not that cost effective unless you're out all the time and doing more than just e-mail. Also, since BlackBerry devices compress the data they send and receive and WiFi is so readily available in the First and Second World, there is really no reason one should need more than 100MB if e-mail and BBM are your main transmissions.
