Not having a Vodafone account but still holding on to my DDI Pocket account, I would very much like to change over if the service is all that great. I've heard the following regarding this "global roaming" service:
1. expensive, poor coverage in Japan
2. No SMS service other than in Japan and then only with Vodafone Japan and U.K subscribers
3. Roaming to the US for example is outrageously expensive (cheaper just to have rented a phone at the airport)
So, has anybody actually used this global roaming service by Vodafone? Since the phones won't be available till Dec, it would be nice to hear how well the phone actually works overseas. (I've heard that not all SIM cards are equal, i.e. every card works with your phone)
Still looking for that universal phone number,
