Wifi/roaming (sorry, sure its already been asked before!)

[akeshabelle]

Hi guys. I will be visiting the US from Australia in a few weeks and I want to make sure I don't get charged for any roaming or data roaming while I'm there. I have had my international roaming deactivated and unticked most everything in my settings, including Data Roaming and Mobile Network.

However, I do still want to be able to use WiFi. Is this possible even if international roaming is deactivated? I also read something about having to connect through your gmail??

Also, do all downloaded apps work on WiFi? In particular Twitter and Facebook.

Thank you!

Have you tried something like APNDROID?

Take a look at SimpleMobile. I bought a one-month sim with unlimited data, unlimited texts (inc international) and unlimited US calls for a holiday in Boston. Cost $80 inc $30 activation. There's a cheaper 200Mb sim, I think.

It's a T-mobile brand and I found it completely reliable, though I was always in Greater Boston. Just walked into a shop and walked out connected.
