My Japanese iPhone (well, bought in Japan, anyway) has an explicit warning
in the Settings/General/Network - Data Roaming:
"Turn data roaming off when abroad to avoid substantial roaming charges
when using email, MMS, web browsing and other data services."
But I got caught with another line of fine print I, er, overlooked.
The flat-rate discounted contract I signed was subject to a three months
delay "during which normal charges will apply." THAT was expensive until
I found what was happening. I still get caught occasionally when my WiFi
link goes down without me noticing it.
