Taking Imagio to Beijing China. I have a few questions

Hey Gang,

I know some of you have mentioned using VZW's international data plan over in Europe as a faurly good value. My wife is going to Beijing for a week and needs a phone. I know the Imagio (CDMA) works there and I am okay with the calling rate.

However, I called VZW and they said it is $69 for International Data roaming for EMAIL!? That 69 will be prorated and temporarily replace our Unlimited data here in the states. But she would not be clear on whether you had to check email through an Email App like Exchange/Activesync or WIndows Live, or through a browser.

So my question is can they tell if she's just surfing the web or using a webmail interface like AOL mobile? I know she can set up the phone to check AOL with the Email App but she may also want to use the browser

Can VZW differentiate a webmail page vs just any old data usage.

What I am getting at is can she use other data in China on the $69 International Data plan without getting extra charges!?

thanks.
