Question GSM Data while traveling overseas (Africa)??
I'm trying to figured out what option I may have for data in GSM countries where local carriers don't have 3G or GPRS available (mainly in some African countries).

I'm currently on AT&T with a 8525 phone which works great for voice but email/web isn't available in very many of the countries I travel to.

I was wondering if a DUN ISP would allow to receive emails (at least) via the slow GSM voice connection. If so do you recommend a particular service (business quality).

If not what other alternatives do I have, short of purchasing a pre-paid plan in each country visited (some still won't be offering data service).

Any input would be welcome!
