Hey wake up call,

so why not tell the truth and share you work for AT&T or you have invested in their stock, roaming is very profitable even for unlimited plans because they limit and monitor all off network usage, so how are we the iphone user who pay dearly ripping off AT&T? Again how long have you been a worker for them?

Can someone please clarify for me. I just called ATT and they said that if i added on the 20 dollar charge that it is unlimited international roaming. IS THAT TRUE or do you incur charges on TOP OF THAT? What is it with these 3K bills?!?!

Im an English man living in Slovakia,i went to Berlin for a weeks relaxing holiday,5 days into the holiday i got an SMS saying that i owe 750 Euros from roaming charges, i admit i took 60 pictures and added them to an Aplaction called EARTHSCAPE. I also checked my E-mail a few times, and thats it, when i went to the Orange shop they said that it was almost 2 Euro per MB, IM NO COMPUTER WIZZ but is it possible to spend 350 MB for just so little use????????????????

I can top that!! Just returned from two weeks in the Caribbean and met a $12000.00 data bill from AT&T. Three I-phones went and only one incurred all those charges. On an island we never even visited or got near!

I got my phone unlocked from http://www.cellunlocker.net for only 15 bucks in 10 minutes and stuck my tmobile simcard ($20 unlimited) in there, currently im in China and works great…I even get maps…

does anyone know if any company offers unlimited roaming for voice calling? I heard tmobile offers this servie, and I called them and they said no…but I’ve seen it around before..weird!

Our family went on a trip for 8 days to the Bahamas. My brother had the new iPhone 3G and I told him and made sure he turned off both data roaming and the push feature for data. On top of that after turning off push we set the fetch system for data to manual. He did not access any internet or other applications that use data and yet he was charged with a bill of $3700. I did the same thing and was charged with only $20.

Anyone travel with the new “switching off” Data Roaming option as of yet? We are about to go to Europe for a few weeks and I was going to do this, but with the bills everyone is talking about I am wondering if it is worth the risk.

AT&T - 3 Days in Norway on their broadband wireless card, $22,000.00

Thankfully this is someone at a company who incurred these costs, the battle continues as to why even if you were online for 72 hours (which this user was not) it would still cost $7,300.00+ a day.

Be careful.
