Thanks Everyone! cheers Blitto On 23/06/2010, at 10:11 PM, Duncan Hardman wrote: To give you an idea of cost... less than 3 mins in the UK whilst roaming cost $25 (run as a test for work). Best bet is either, as others have suggested, get a local SIM in the country you are traveling to or talk to your mobile provider before you go to see what other options there might be.

I just turned it on when I found myself needing to use Maps or look up timetables etc. then turned it straight off again. If you're going to be over there for a while it may be worth sourcing a local data provider's SIM. Have fun, Shay On 23/06/2010 5:24 PM, Rod Blitvich wrote: Dear WAMUGers Please can you help? I have applied to Telstra  have International Roaming switched on. I can see that the call rates are maybe 3 or 4 times higher. What about data? Is data just data - doesn't matter where you are? I have a $10 data pack which i NEVER get close to using up. Will it be the same in Malaysia? Or will that be 4 times as expensive? Or will data not work at all? ta Blitto ***** **Rod Blitvich*  - Amy & Sam’s Dad *. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .* * *0409 681 256  _rb...@iinet.net.au <x-msg://181/rb...@iinet.net.au>_  http://web.me.com/blitto <http://web.mac.com/blitto> ***I don't have a big ego, I'm way too cool for that.* ** ** ** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>  Rod Blitvich  - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   0409 681 256    rb...@iinet.net.au   http://web.me.com/blitto A Life?
