There is another way to travel abroad with iPhone as well - you can rent an international Sim card (with american number, they - www.iphonetrip.com - deliver it to you before the flight). It includes unlimited internet access, no need to switch data roaming off or to look for wi-fi spots.

However I do have one (somewhat major) correction with regards to Int'l Data Roaming: You are correct in that you can sign up for multiple data roaming packages via AT&T, however you should sign up for the maximum plan you will use, not adjust it as-you-go. <br /><br />Should you upgrade your plan (say 50mb to 100mb, as I did) and you are mid-billing cycle, the first plan somehow no longer applies (this is AT&T's logic, not mine) and you are liable for those remaining charges. It's not as simple as going to the website and clicking the next highest up plan and somehow expecting to increase your maximum usage total. It essentially cancels the former plan out.
