Guys,

I've recently visited Aruba for 5 days. When I got my cell phone bill, it was $100 more than usual. The statement contained $1.99/minute charges for the roaming phone calls.

What surprised me was that many of the $1.99 charges I got were for the phone calls I DID NOT PICK UP. Everytime I got an incoming call from a BLOCKED phone number, I just ignored it and let it ring.

It turned out I still got charged for those "conversations."

When I called the AT&T support they said it was by design and that I would charge for those calls anyway because I was connected to the other network. Their suggestion was for me to keep my phone off at all times.

Next time I'm definitely renting a phone in a foreign country.
