Wise up people. Once bitten twice shy. The way to go whenever abroad is to get a local PAYG gprs enabled sim. When I visit the UK I get a PAYG data bundle off Orange which costs £1 per mb. (roaming is £6 per mb for me) On my last visit in Nov 05, Orange even doubled the data bundle for free. If you visit my neck of the woods; S Africa; get a local sim from Vodacom with data costing only £0.20 per mb. (roaming is £25 per mb)
