When I go to Europe, I get a throw-away cellphone and leave the one I have here. Way cheaper.
Same thing. I spend a lot of time in Thailand and usually just get a cheap prepaid phone that I can top up occasionally. I love wireless service over there -- you never pay for incoming calls or texts!
Same in Europe. Coverage is excellent. Using cell in Europe shows just how bad cell sucks in the USA. Why can't we have ONE system here? Why? Why? Why?

Don't you just need to pick up a foreign sim? Assuming of course your phone supports the international frequencies.
The biggest issue with that (especially if you are using it for business) is that you then dont get to use your US phone number. Almost all cheap international prepaid SIM's only support voice anyway (certainly not 3G), so its kind of pointless.

A dollar per megabyte? What is this? The 1980's?
Think ATT doesn't gouge those internationally data roaming on their network? It's the 'I rip your customers off, and you rip off mine' agreement between international carriers. There is no incentive for any cooperation between international carriers.

As suggested, just pick up (or ebay from here) an unlocked phone at your destination. You'd be amazed at the selection. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21009483 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:27:02 EDT Re: Umm... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21009460 banditws6 :

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to get new iPhone service in the country your visiting instead?
