Came across an interesting parallel while planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur. There was a stark warning of rip-offs from Malaysian taxis overcharging. They gave tips that you should use a taxi that had a visible meter so that you could see the usage and then there would be no disagreements when the bill came.

Now, there are multiple apps for iphones and Androids that give me the same protection as the taxi meter.

Now some networks - particularly Orange - have extortionate charges per Mb and everone should know what their out of bundle costs are before using these services. Also, you must be a real numpty not to realise that a local sim with local charges has got to be cheaper than roaming costs.

So, I find myself angry with some networks for their "per Mb" roaming charges, but despair of people who don't take the basic steps of reading up in advance of incurring the charges.
