Mobile Data Roaming: $10,000/hour

Can you imagine getting hit with a $10,609.27 bill for spending an hour catching up online?

That's how much AT&T charged my former boss Michael Mace's colleague Nilofer recently for using her datacard while waiting to catch a flight in Toronto.

For more details, read Michael's retelling of the the horror story, and our advice on how to protect yourself.

It could happen to you.

Marking up mobile data rates 300x while roaming?!? No wonder that people tend to think that phone companies are evil. Egads!
