I do this on a regular basis..

using your US line, you will be charged:
* roaming
* data
* data roaming
all three get charged.. I've gotten slapped with a 4,000$ bill for using my "roaming data plan" for a week in Italy once.. I went over my 100mb package so fast and I don't even know how..
they also said that the network my phone decided to choose was not one they had an agreement with (phone switched to it due to better service in the area), so they made me pay the above charges
this will happen over a time period of 6months guaranteed
Exactly. I'm unlocking my Blackberry when I go to Lebanon this summer. Pop in a SIM card from over there and you're good to go. Do you know if they have prepaid SIM cards that support BIS?
