They have instructed me to set Data Roaming to OFF under Setting/General/Network.
Can someone who has traveled abroad confirm that by doing this I will not incur any fees associated with data. I understand that international fees apply when using the phone feature. I am ok with that.
I couldn't tell if the AT&T rep that I spoke to was just yesing me. I couldn't tell if she really knew what she was talking about. Ya know....
Thanks!!

Do you really need to use your iPhone while overseas? Might be much simpler to get a pre-paid phone, or if you have another unlocked phone, a pre-paid SIM from overseas. That way you don't have to pay exhorbitant roaming rates for overseas call. Keep your iPhone in airplane mode.
