Yes.
tmn have several "monthly pricing plans", basically pre-paid use of data,
but still outrageous
2MB EUR 11,90 (extra MB 5,950 ), 5MB EUR 22,61 (extra 4,522 ), 10MB EUR34,51
(extra 3,451) and 20MB EUR 57,12 (extra 2,856)
but in case there isn't a subscription to one of the mentioned "plans",
users get charged EUR25 per MB!!!
