On a similar tangent, I'm actually travelling to the states for PAX coming up next week, and I tried to get something set up for roaming data with my carrier, Virgin: http://www.danhulton.com/blog/2010/08/26/mitigating-exhorbitant-us-data-roaming-rates-on-virgin-mobile-canada/ http://www.danhulton.com/blog/2010/08/26/mitigating-exhorbit... The short of it is, I have to pay $6 per MEGABYTE of roaming data I accrue, even if it's on Viring US's network. And I'm LUCKY. If I didn't have a smartphone, I could be paying $15 for the first megabyte, and $0.05 per KILOBYTE thereafter.
