Oh really? I didn't understand your suggestion to travel to an Apple store because they told me it's a carrier-dependent issue. Can you confirm this? Have you tried it yourself?

I travel out of the country a lot. Have you tried to look into international roaming charges to see how much AT&T charges? Without my phone being unlocked ill have to pay an arm and a leg to use it.
