[nabs-l] international roaming and your Cell Phones atConvention

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Hello Liz,

Interesting that a t and t told you this information. I hope they are 
correct, and that satellites can distinguish and charge correctly even 
though you may literally be less than a mile away from foreign lands.

It sounds to me that one may be able to pick up a satellite signal, and 
still incur roaming charges.

A T and t may re right about what they told you, but I would still cancel 
any chances of a hefty charge for using the cell phone.

They tell me this would cost $.79 without an international plan, and still 
$.59 with a plan.

Since it cost you nothing to block roaming charges on your plan, I still 
think it is an advantage.

The alternative is that the one representative was mistaken in talking with 
you, and you attend convention with a big expensive surprise in the end.

I was told by AT&T that as long as I'm not physically in Canada, I shouldn't
be charged. I wasn't told anything about needing to turn off roaming.
