I'm still using a T-mobile Pearl 8120. Despite all the rumours going around that they "changed" their $19.99 Unlimited International "E-mail" plan, I used my Pearl for tons of Google Maps and web usage abroad several times recently, including just 2 weeks ago, on both GPRS and EDGE. I have never incurred international roaming charges.

I am considering upgrading to the Bold 9700 since I'm eligible.
1. Will this plan disappear
2. If this plan stays, will it change, or will I get unlimited international GPRS+EDGE+3G?

I dare not call T-mobile because they do not know what they talk about. Some reps say my existing plan covers only E-mail (wtf, e-mail==data to servers), some say it covers all GPRS, some say it covers all EDGE; the truth from my observation on multiple trips is that it covers all EDGE, but clearly the customer reps do not know.

Thanks for any input and advice ...

I think if your service plan stays the same as it currently is it should still work. GPRS+EDGE+3G just indicate that the device has an active data service.

To me this sounds like an error on their behalf and I doubt it will last long unseen.

I am using a 9700 with the unlimited international add-on and have not incurred charges for ANY use except voice and SMS. The key is to ensure that the WAP APN is disabled under TCP/IP settings.
