Default EKIT now has Data Bundles! - 10-06-2013, 04:10

I think this change is less than a week old.
While this is still true:

How much does it cost?
Rates are based on kilobytes of data used, and are charged at 49c per MB when connected to T-Mobile or $1.99 per MB when connected to AT&T in the USA . The minimum charge is for 100KB and further usage is charged in increments of 100KB. A minimum charge of 50c per session applies.
They are now offering data bundles in which you prepay for a dedicated data 'wallet' [my word].
The best rate is produced from:
Quote:
Heavy Data Bundle you pay:$119, balance is $357.00
[200% extra credit]
So one third of 49cents is 16.3cents per MB.

The newer [the ones we got as replacement SIM cards with the $5 credit] SIM cards all seem to have the ability to buy the Data Bundles from the account details page.

This is extremely expensive compared to Lycamobile US which has a prepaid rate of $0.06/MB.

Of course it is. But it is a start. Also, Lycamobile in the US is very flaky.

This post was mainly to bring attention to those who already have ekit of what has changed.

I would have to agree with this. I spent a few hours trying to buy a Lyca US SIM in both the DC and Baltimore areas. None of the five stores I got off of Lyca's web site have even heard of it, let alone have them SIMs or top-ups for sale.
