How do I do a frowny face and thumbs down? Mr. Frosty must work in AT&T sales.

Yes, you can do it. But if you're doing data (that's what they call it) - email, web surfing and iphone apps gathering data in the background - over the mobile phone network, it'll cost you! Dearly. It'll even cost quite a bit to make and receive calls and texts from SA to SA or from SA back to the US.
