On the other hand, I paid quite a bit for voice roaming which indicates I should probably bring an additional unlocked cell phone for future travels abroad.
Not to send the thread off track.. and I am using quite a bit of tethering and web browsing with the unlimited tmo BB 19.99 plan + int add on for another 19.99... and don't see any added charges... yet from S.A.

but on the issue of international roaming which can add up really fast.. one easy solution is to subscribe to a service that allows you direct your U.S. domestic number to an overseas number and forward your cell to that service. Unconditionally forward all calls to that number which is forwarded to your international cell. It saves a ton of $$$ and can be controlled over the net. Since you might already know this,,,, some might not and it's an international thread related to high costs... so hopefully its not too far off track. uno mas. ;)
