even if you watch it, it can come out off and they bill you, but indeed one can often at least the first time, get them removed.
A friend of mine went to china a while ago, bought the international plan, for 100MB of data for X$. He cleared his data record on the iphone before leaving, and tracked it. He used to phone and racked up usage on the iphone at least of 93MB. Well, when he got back, AT&T said he had used 230MB of data and billed him like 900$ extra. He said no, I have a screen shot of the phone, with a time stamp etc. "you TOLD me to watch my usage via the phone screen and I did" They reversed the charge.
It is just another example of what I think is a price TEST. They'll put a number out there and SOME people will pay. Most people don't track it and have no idea how to argue the point.
Buyer beware.
