In article <14378@accuvax.nwu.edu> you write:

>What about roaming in foriegn countries (HK in particular)?

I remember a few months back that someone posted an article about

compatible with the North American standard.  All you needed was a
credit card for billing, and you were set!

he can add to this thread.  PAT]
