Top up as needed Create vodafone login and register phone and here why; when you add the totally free "international dialing" option, you can call USA for less than 0.08c (5p) a minute. Buy a USB 3G dongle from vodafone. $15 for dongle. $25 for 3GB / month pay as you go data plan. Throw it all away when done or keep for future trips. AT&T just don't get it, all of the above is 10x less than using them in UK. I’m in London;

That is ridiculous! Shame on you AT&T. FYI, if you are on AT&T and have an international calling plan (different from the international ROAMING plan) you will lose your special international rates while the roaming plan is activated. Please be aware that if you are used to paying their reduced rates for international calling (which are the best if you are wondering) then you won't have those same rates when the international roaming package is activated.

Oh, but that would be simple. ;) No hate for iPhone - I was a former user and loved it - but some of the limits enforced by the iPhone at AT&T are a tad ridiculous.

All of the above is moot when your battery is dead and you're stuck at the airport without a USB port from which to boost enough power to get to your phone contacts needed to find a ride home. *grumble* My charger/adapter came from DealExtreme and died after three charges (I should have known...)
