Travelling through USA

I'd also endorse Truphone for this -
I was surprised that the data rate is more than I expected, so I looked up their rates:
very interesting, for US residents, the cost is 15c/MB (in US $). But they appear to be charging 22 Euro c/MB, around 28 US cents, for Italians!

I thought Truphone was just ripping off US residents roaming in Europe relative to EU residents, but now we've discovered that they are also charging Europeans more for data when in the US!

It's still a good deal for a small amount of email/web checking, but Tru is only company to adjust prices by residency....
