Question Roaming in BC - 07-28-2008, 12:29 PM

From what I have read on this forum, it looks like this would not work if I were to try it in Vancouver BC. That is, I would be billed a roaming charge. Can anyone confirm this? My T-Mobile account is in the US.

Yes, you would be billed roaming data. I wouldn't do it.

John is right, the roaming data charges add up quick as I have learned from experience!
