Ive had the same overcharging issue, but with O2/CPW. Whilst travelling for 2 weeks last year in Germany with my O2XDA I made the mistake of downloading email (headers only!) and using MSN Messenger. I came back to a SERIES of bills which grew over a period of 4 months as O2 steadily recieved the charges from the European networks involved. In total, the data costs were some £4,000 more than my typical usage!. Sure enough, challenging the bills got me absolutely nowhere. But I had a datamax unlimited useage package, so why the costs? Well, these packages apply to the UK only. If anyone can recommend a cheap roaming solution, there are a lot of interested punters here.....
