On a related note, I recently got a company-paid iPhone with international voice roaming from AT&T.

It's constantly searching for networks. It finds Orange AT (the main roaming partner), T-Mobile AT, E-Plus and a few others. But it doesn't lock them in permanently.

For instance, last night, no problem locking in Orange in my hotel room. This afternoon, it can't do it.

It has to be the iPhone. Nokias have a better reputation for reception.

Even if the iPhone was unlocked, it's value as a traveling phone seems limited, unless there are carriers offering combination voice and data plans for short-term, prepaid use.

For instance, I got a voice mail but I can't check it because it requires data. Tried checking it but it says it can't complete international call.

I did get a text from the US though.
