Hi mingelli,
The "web pre" refers to data only plans. These plans are available for modems for data access and do not include voice minutes. TIM has not been advertising these plans since they launched the "Liberty Web" plans, which are monthly post paid plans for Tablets, and modems. "Liberty Web" are unlimited in data transfer, however there is a speed cap when you reach the monthly quota. The liberty web plan for smartphone is named "Web Smart" costs $29.90 a month and the quota is 300 Mb and after cap speed is 50 kpbs .
Do you need only data in your iphone or voice + data ? Even if you need data only the voice+data prepay is a better deal. On the "tim web pre" offer the daily rate is $5.00 for 250 mb data, on the "infinity pre" the daily package is $0.50 and the cap is 10 mb and it still works after the limit, there is the speed cap only. I don't see as cost wise to use the "tim web pre" packages anymore. But only you, given your usage, can tell which one is worth.
The "tim web pre" offer has the following top ups:
Day - R$5.00 - 250 mb data
Week - R$35.00 - 500 mb data
Month - R$100.00 - 1 Gb data
They are data only and they have to be subscribed by sending a SMS from the chip to 4141 stating TWDIA, TWSEMANA , or TWMES, after that you will be sent a confirmation message and you need to reply with OK . Then wait for the SMS from the company stating the plan has been activated.
The "tim web pre" plans are not capped, they keep working at full speed after the plan has expired, however the rate is $1.05 per Mbyte of data transfer.
