While planning my recent trip to Ireland, I was concerned about iPhone roaming charges I might incur while overseas. A few quick Google searches revealed some nightmare stories about people racking up hundreds, even thousands of dollars of roaming charges in just 1 week. I quickly determined I wasn't going to use my iPhone as a mobile phone while in Ireland (I'll tell you what I did instead in a future blog post) but I still wanted to use the data features of my iPhone, mainly so I could communicate to my kids back home via email. Pre-paying wasn't my… Continue reading...
