Another Blackberry question?
Sorry! I am sure this has been covered before, but just did a Google search of this forum and came up with nothing.
Question:
How do the service providers charge for Blackberry connection when traveling overseas. For example, I am retrieving web-based e-mail in a foreign country, how does T-Mobile, Verizon or any provider charge for the time I use to download those message?

I am with AT&T. Firstly the overseas GPRS rate is determined by your US plan - I am on the unlimited data so the GPRS roaming rates are lower.
Then you have the choice to either not pay a monthly fee and pay a certain rate per mb/kb, or pay a monthly fee and pay a lower rate.
There's a little more complexity, but the above is it at a high level.
