I need my phone to receive e-mail all of the time for work and it looks like you need to turn the iPhone off from auto update and only connect in wi-fi zones while traveling or risk a 4 digit phone bill.
Does anyone have any advice on this? That's just what I read online.
Any phone that you take overseas that has a data plan can rack up charges. If you took a Blackberry over to Europe with push e-mail enabled, it'll probably rack up the same charges as an iPhone would. I have coworkers with $2000/mo phone bills to prove it.
The iPhone does have WiFi at least, so you do have a low/no-cost option to get your e-mail while abroad.
