I've got such SMSes from some foreign carriers. Virgin UK sent me one in the Netherlands saying welcome to the Netherlands, you can use your Virgin SIM here for only ____p per minute.

Down from DR's neighborhood, there is an even bigger trap. There is a lot of oil off the MS, NO, and TX down there and there are a ton of drilling platforms. There is a company called Petrocell that has cellular service in the Gulf of Mexico. You pay rates comparable to foreign roaming on this network, yet you can roam out of the box on this network and the signal occasionally hits shore, but they've tried to avoid that. I've heard more than one person in the old pre-Katrina Biloxi Casino who got hit for a Petrocell roaming bill while still on shore.
