If you travel overseas, you must get a GSM phone, which means T-Mobile or Cingular.

I had Cingular for several years and only one overcharge problem. I fixed it by calling an advocacy group in San Diego.

I switched to T-mobile when we moved to Texas, because Cingular charges $45 for all you can eat internet while T-Mobile charges $20.

Remember, roaming depends on which signal is strongest in an area and if it is over the line, it's over the line. While on Pt. Loma in San Diego, I had a TelCel connection (Mexican Cell service). If I had made a call, I would have been charged $5+/min.
