Shocking roaming fees on iPhones !

Referring to the International Herald Tribune article, the iPhone owners without a flat global roaming plan have been charged with huge roaming bills, after travelling to vacations in Europe.

Just 2 weeks in Ireland and England resulted in a bill of $3.000 to a US traveller !!!

When he was offered a $100 credit, he felt insulted, and he sent letters to the chief executives of AT&T and Apple. The story of his bill quickly spread around the Internet. Before long, he was given a full credit.

AT&T is not automatically crediting customers for such charges. Each complaint about roaming charges was being evaluated case by case.

Therefore it is recommended to set the Data Roaming to "off" and to turn the Automatic checking in your email settings to "Manual" !!!
