Re: [apple-iphone] out of country charges
Ouch that is about 1.7 times my normal monthly total AT&T bill or as much as
AT&T & Verizon combined with 4 lines. I **think** AT&T has an option that
you can add something like "International Coverage" to your plan on a
month-by-month basis so that if say you are going out of the country the 3rd
week in August, you would add the service the 2nd week and then turn the
service off the 2nd week of September so that you are covered during the
billing cycle of when you will be traveling.
I would recommend disabling all e-mail checking and other features that use
the data portion. Even if you don't receive any e-mail, leaving your phone
on to check 2-4 accounts every 15 minutes could end up costing you hundreds
of dollars.
