Norwegian plans reviled (FREE DATA PLAN added!!!)

[Chundles]

U-oh... it's getting worse...

I sent a follow up question to Netcom this weekend, asking if and when Visual voicemail would be available. The answer:


Translated: Hi, it's not decided if we're going to offer visual voicemail or not. A decision will me made some time within the 4th quarter.

Yeah...love the sound of that...

That's not what it says - it says "The next time you ask whether or not Sigur Ros is Norwegian or Icelandic I'm going to float your corpse down a fjord."

Don't start we me on Scandinavian languages...

And I was thinking we got ripped off in the uk that is really bad

Truth is, our O2 plans are actually some of the best iPhone plans out there! These have got to be the worst tarrifs I've seen so far.

TeliaSonera isn't planning on implementing visual voicemail either, so this is nothing out of the ordinary. I don't think any European countries have it, except maybe UK and Germany since they were in on the iPhone from the beginning (=the old 2G). All these carriers already went out of their way to implement a rather unusual US-inspired business model just to please Apple, but I think that's where they draw the line; they're not going to make any technical modifications to their networks just for one phone from one manufacturer. iPhone is cool, but it's not OMG-stop-the-presses-we're-not-worthy spectacular...

Ha, I like how they make a point to note "Free WiFi." They wouldn't be able to charge for that even if they wanted to.

Actually, since they (probably) refer to their own network of hotspots, they could... and do for other customers...

On the other hand isn't the offer any good...the only time I actually found one of their bases I was completely unable to log in on it...

You can buy it unlocked in Denmark for around 5.400 DKR ($1,069).

And then use whatever SIM card you feel like.

Norway has only 2 national carriers --- that's why their prices are really insane.

When Canada went from 4 carriers to 3 carriers --- that's when competition really stopped.
