Nice, just nice.
Hope you're not bitching cause this is better than Verizon's translation of "here, have a crappy WORLD phone and you're gonna pay an arm and a leg to use it in ANY WAY in any country besides the U.S.A."
If you get a SIGNAL. tmo is a crappy carrier here in US and worse overseas.
If you are going overseas I suggest get an unlock smartphone and buy the sim and data service with it for a month. I was in Asia 6 months ago and it was cheaper just to buy the data service. Cost me only $30.00.
Sometimes i think people talk through their a****les. What volume of data transfers does a person - international traveler at that - need on his / her mobile phone that 2g - 3g is going to make a real difference. When it comes to texting it hardly matters. If one needs huge amount of data transfers to the phone that really needs 3g speed he/she is definitely using a wrong device.
Mind you they are talking about "International" where otherwise you either have no data cconnection or a phenominally expensive one.
My daughter brought her iPhone with Verizon global roaming which simply would not work. Indian sim would not work in her phone nor would her sim work on my BB.
Finally I simply managed to transfer her contacts to my BB with an Indian sim card and she was all set.
