actually who the fuck roams globally on a GSM phone? :shock:
you just walk in to any store buy a sim card pop it in the phone and talk!
none of that roaming bullshit that costs $0.70+ a minute!!!

and in Europe all incoming calls are free so you only pay when dialing out to someone:juggle:
Actually I pay anywhere between $0.99 and $1.49 a minute-- I would LOVE to pay just $0.70!.

Local SIMS are nice, but I count on people being able to reach me at my number, so I can't just change numbers when I leave the country, and local SIMS have their own number.

I need seamless integration -- When someone calls my office, it forwards to my cell phone. If that is an important call, I want to either pick it up or be able to call them back -- and with T Mobile, the Caller ID works just about everywhere so it meets those needs. There is just no cheap, easy, one-size-fits-all solution.
