T-mobile in the UK has gone flat-rate. Prices have been more than halved and all plans based on megabytes are in rubble. T-mobile now stands alone as the first operator in the UK to shift to exclusively offering flat-rate plans. In doing so T-Mobile believes more than likely there will be a spike in business subscribers due to the reduced cost. However, instant messaging and Internet telephony are both banned. Talk about bummer.

There’s a bunch of hoopla going on and techworld even called T-Mobile’s recent moves draconian. Web ‘n’ Walk allows users to visit anywhere but with serious limitations. UK data use (professional tariff) is limited to 2GB per month. If you use VoIP or IP instant messaging according to the T-Mobile TOS they have the right to your soul. Well not actually your soul but terminated contracts and fried SIM cards are not good either.
