Our fanbois in the peanut gallery will never admit Apple could do wrong.They think Apple is perfect...
How is this either Apple's or Virgin's fault?
Every mobile phone comes with something called "turn off data roaming".
Blackberry has it - http://supportforums.blackberry.com...n-Traveling-Internationally/m-p/227881#M18290
Apple has it - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2283
Android has it - http://androidforums.com/40326-post33.html
It's a feature across the board for all smartphones (and if your smartphone doesn't have it, return it ASAP).
Now about carriers, if you believe carriers should set hard limits on billing, talk to your MP and get a law passed. The EU has done this - http://www.itproportal.com/portal/news/article/2010/7/6/eu-caps-smartphone-data-roaming-charges/
The only way I can see Virgin being on the hook is if he asked about data roaming and was miseducated.
Otherwise, someone take away his iPhone and give it to Woody. It's about time for him to join the 21st century. =)

I'm taking my iPad to South Africa in a week, will pop out the ATT SIM and put in a pay-as-you-go SIM.....
Just goes to show you can't fix stupid.

There are plenty of people going to South Africa in a week, in fact, I bet there are people there right now as we speak....with their pads, Xooms, laptops, mp3 players, cameras, etc, etc...
I hope so, spectacular country... posted photos every day for friends/family to see via the iPad...There are plenty of people going to South Africa in a week, in fact, I bet there are people there right now as we speak....with their pads, Xooms, laptops, mp3 players, cameras, etc, etc...

Just a friendly PSA
Hey nothing wrong with helpfully pointing out there are FREE alternatives out there for those tired of being repeatedly `raped` by M$ & Apple over the years....
Again it is very nice to be M$ & Apple FREE!....
