I called T-Mobile USA's international tech support desk to ask them, and they told me that it simply isn't possible. They said that phone calls, SMS, and GPRS Internet access are available, but not sending pictures at any price.

I'm not sure that I believe them - does anyone have experience on this matter?
Most carrier-specific value added services are not available when roaming. My Treo is on Sprint and while I can roam on other networks, the PCS Vision and all related services are not accessible. Standards-based communiction, like phone and SMS should always be available (duh, otherwise roaming is kind of useless ), but I'm surprised that even web access is possible,
