I will stop caring once international roaming fees stops being a thing. I hope that like you mention it eventually dies off, but right now, I have to assume I'll be offline every time I travel abroad.

- chatmasta 12y agoIt makes far more sense to simply buy an international SIM card upon arrival. In Thailand for example you can get seven days unlimited 3G (faster than in the usa) for just $5 at 7/11. Now that carriers must unlock phones you can do this far more easily. The downside is you get a new phone number. If you travel frequently it might make sense to abandon calling altogether and simply setup an SIP forwarding solution.
