I found only a few hotspots that it worked well at - but it earned its keep when I was at a remote hotel for a few days where their service worked - it is cheap - $7.95 per month, no contract, so it does not need much use to pay it's way. Add Skype with a calling plan to your iPhone and you can make low cost calls anywhere you can get wifi. In the UK, Starbucks and MacDonalds were free. Boingo's business model is to partner with multiple networks for access - if you are in one of their partner's wifi range, you are good to go. The ATT iPhone plans are exorbitant - be sure to switch off data roaming unless you want to take out a second mortgage. -- Clive http://clive.smugmug.com On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Kenneth Frazier <kennybod at mac.com> wrote: > Listers, > > I'm getting my plans ready for my trip to Europe in October and need to > know about the best (least expensive) cell phone plan. > > Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris > > Tips or hints on using my iPhone 4 (AT&T) would be appreciated. > > > TIA > > Ken > ---------------------------- > Ken Frazier > kennybod at mac.com > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
