I'm doing my first Canada overnight tomorrow. Called AT&T and found out their international rates are ridiculous, as expected. An example, if my phone is on, and I receive a text message, I get charged $.50. And I can pay an addition $5/month for the privilege of only being charged $.60/min on a call. So do you guys just leave your phones off while your there or what? Skype if needed? Obviously if the call is important enough I'll make it, but I get a pretty good amount of texts in the day, so unless you guys have other answers I guess I'll be keeping my phone off. Lemme know!
