For those of you travelling to convention, you'll notice that just a couple
hundred yards across the Detroit River is Canada, our neighbor to the north
(or in this unusual case, our neighbor to the south).  Though you will need
a passport to cross the border, your cell phone doesn't.  Depending where
you are in the hotel, your cell phone (or data card) may give up on a weak
signal from your carrier and switch to the Rogers Communications cell signal
from Canada.  This constitutes international roaming and can be very
expensive.  Unless you have a contract that includes it, you might consider
contacting your provider to disable international roaming, if only for the
first couple of weeks of July.  I found AT&T to be very helpful in providing
assistance with my request.  To make it a bit easier for those interested,
here are contact numbers for the various carriers:

 

AT&T : 611 or 800-331-0500

Sprint : *2, press Talk or 888-211-4727

T-Mobile : 800-937-8997

Verizon : *611 or 800-922-0204

Virgin Mobile : 888-322-1122

 

Here's to no cell phone bill suprises, eh?  If you supervise anyone without
e-mail, please advise any of those attending convention.

 

Regards,

John
