I’m certain that any of you that own a 2.5G iPhone know well suitable by now that you don’t go into another country and try to use their input network. When you reach back in the US, you’ll be greeted with a wonderful bill for an outrageous amount for roaming goods. So it should come as no surprise that you’ll really not want to roam with your iPhone 3G.

Just to give you an example, O2 charges around $12 per MB downloaded when roaming outside of the UK. At least with the original iPhone, the slow connection meant you probably didn’t use nearly

as much notes as one will with the 3G version. However, with a new iPhone, you could potentially be spending around $12 per second, which will add up quick.

Like I said, most of you probably already know how to turn off input roaming on your iPhone, however, with the new lower price for the 3G, there are going to be a lot of citizens that may not even think about that. So whether you know someone with an iPhone going on a trip to Europe, you might want to give them a heads-up.
