T-Mobile USA has better international roaming agreements than Cingular. Buy a Nokia E61. It has sect-band coverage. It will work in Japan unlike most phones. It has all major GSM frequencies and great data connectivity. The phone also has built in wi-fi which means he is able to use it on many hotel networks as well. Lastly, the phone has great data connectivity. It handles Blackberry, Microsoft Exchange Server, Good, Intellisync, etc.

Can you try to let us know what countries are an issue. If you can eliminate Japan and Korea, you have more options. Does your company have a presence in England. If so, a Vodafone or 02 SIM might have better roaming options, but you'll pay dearly for this.

Can you give us a list of the recent countries your president has visited and the ones he has had problems in. We are going to approach the situation differently if he had problems in the Carribean than in Asia.

Is your president going to freak about having to occasionally change a SIM card or having more than one mobile phone?

Lastly, I presume that costs is irrelevant. From what I'm gathering, he would rather have a $3 a minute connection in the UK without thinking about it, than having to figit for 10 minutes to get a ten second a minute connection.
