AT&T recently charged me over $600 for roaming calls I never made! Many of these calls were physically imposible! Check out my story at:

And thus the reason why people by UNLOCKED phones and use SIM cards from the country they are traveling to. I mean god forbid you would want to buy an unlocked phone that costs less, has more features and can do more than an iPhone and can still roam the world with 0 extra charges.

This is the second story of someone going to the UK and “not knowing how much data they were using” because they were looking online for their bill instead of just looking at the firiggin phone itself.

I think this is bogus since it reads almost exactly like the previous story.

I thought you had to wait 3 months before they would even allow international roaming?

I checked with AT&T and they INSIST that I will NOT be charged while in Amsterdam if I don’t activate international roaming. Now I’m confused.

He was dumb to ASSUME that he wouldn’t be billed for international roaming.
