Just had a look at the bill for my fathers Telecom Mobile which is currently in China using International Roaming and OH MY GOD!!!!!! $500 :horrified

I never knew they charged THAT much. If I had known, I would have said use calling cards, but the old man is as stubborn as red wine on a white shirt.

Yes I am partially to blame since I did not check Telecom's site for pricing on Intl Roaming, but then again the lady at the local TC store didn't mention the costs either. Well, no use crying over spilt milk then.

Glad he is coming back Tuesday.

433350 2006-02-24 04:35:00 Last time in Shenzheung (sp?), aunt's phone supposedly a HKG intl prepaid card not work over there so I used my Vodafone NZ card costed around close to $6-7NZ to call HKG I think, this is not including roaming.

If someone rang from NZ me I would of been billed like $12 a min. 30mins = $360NZ.

If you are in the USA and get roaming charge I think its $7-8 a min.

During my other times there I borrowed a cousin's HKG prepaid card, haha. Glad I was only billed like $20 max. No one rang me from NZ, haha.
