I am a long time att customer, however I find it outrageous, their charges abroad. I usualy use either globalcellularrental.com or I recently started using a great company called cellomobile.com , they charge you only 99 cents to the US and incoming calls are free. I even took a new offer phone from them to my recent trip to EU, and they charged me 69 cents in and out with a USA phone number ( I couldn't find it on their site) I guess, it's some kind of unadvertised corporate price which they give you when asked for it ( my friend told me about this offer). Or (the cheapest) I would suggest you to buy a sim card once in Germany, however many cons to this, no phone no. Before your trip; prepaid, which means constant refilling; language barrier, customer service is in native language (some speak english, depends who you get); phone language changes automaticaly to native language (could be changed back to english though). One more thing with my Att, which I don't have elsewhere, the taxes on cell phones account to about +25 percent of call charges, all those fcc etc. taxes, with the other options there is no taxes.


Cheers
