Yay

Telecom has announced:

Telecom today announced that from Monday 1 July it will extend the $10 flat daily rate for mobile data roaming to four new markets – Japan, , and – and confirmed that it will keep the $6 daily rate for data roaming in in place, after an overwhelmingly positive response from Telecom roaming customers to the deals.

Excellent. has really shaken up the market, and made roaming far less painful.

In the five months since the flat daily rates were introduced, Telecom customers travelling overseas used three times as much roaming data as they did in the same period in 2012, and Telecom has received very strong feedback on the simplicity and the value of the offer – particularly from business customers.

When I go to the US, I'll be keeping my Telecom sim card in my phone – something I would have never done if facing per MB data rates.
