The thing is that he got ATT to eat the charges when he was thoroughly in the wrong. I don't know what to think about that.

If you are using a push email service and the foreign roaming partner rounds per transaction, he can run up a fortune in roaming charges doing very little. Also Google maps uses a ton of data because it really doesn't cache all that much. For foreign trips, take a look at Nokia's Smart2go which has free maps if you don't want direction by direction instructions that you can download to an SD card when you have a wifi connection.
