We learn now and turn the "data reception" on for 10 minutes a couple of times a day and get emails then shut the data off.

Seriously?

You mean they charge to have it on as a phone while I'm overseas, whether I'm calling or not. Wow, kind of defeats the purpose of have one that is global in case I get a phone call while traveling.

Cstreit,

I have a GPS in mine, but its not enabled. You said free GPS, how so? How do I enable and not pay for it? How do I dial out to the internet with my PC and the BB with the serial cable? I guess I should go do some research.
