Thanks to all of your for your responses. Seems the concensus is "no roaming for GPRS out of your home country." I guess that makes sense. I was nieve to think that I could just turn on my phone and see the little blue GPRS signal show up on the phone and just start using it. No such luck for now. Of course, if anyone hear's something different, please post it up.

Thanks again everyone.

And they call it mobile communication?I think some providers are not willing to allow roaming because they plan to fusion all countries in one.Vodafone might for example create a European network with on roaming at all and therefore will not need to have agreements outside of their own network.I think this could explain all this waiting.If phone companies have a way to make big money,and gprs roaming is,they tend to do things very quickly...

Have we all seen the prices of GPRS roaming?

O2 charge £7.05 per mb when GPRS roaming in the following nations:

Ireland
Finland
Germany

They will be bringing so called 'second tier' GPRS roaming nations online over the summer. the O2 rep however, mentioned that in some countries, it could be around £23 (yes, twenty three!) per meg!

Shome mishtake shurely!

Update: I was in Vancouver this past weekend and had GPRS access via MCELL. My experience too was that it was both faster and much more reliable than at home via Voicestream. Of course, I was only able to surf via the public WAP gateways posted elsewhere on this forum. Neither the Voicestream gateway nor the MyVoicestream page were available at all.

So, a partial yes for roaming outside the US. And another bad reflection on the quality of Voicestream's service overall.

UPDATE:

I am a VoiceStream user. There IS limited GPRS roaming in Europe. was there last week. Here is what I've found, for VS users:

Germany - GPRS works on T-Mobile D only
UK - GPRS works on one system, I forgot which
Austria - No GPRS roaming
Switzerland - No GPRS roaming
Netherlands - No GPRS roaming
