The company I work for is currently with AT&T. Doing business in the far east... Roaming calls with AT&T World Traveler plan ($5.99 a month for voice calls when outside the country)are $1.99 a minute. That can add up in a hurry. Asked AT&T if they have any better plan and told that is it.
I went to the Sprint website and see thier plan at $4 a month and calls at between .13 and .16 a minute.
Am I missing something? Could there really be that big a difference in rates?

Correction. The Sprint charges I quoted were when calling from the US to China. Still pretty good rates..
The real rates for roaming while in China is $2.29 a minute.

All those rates are pretty competitive now, difference is marginal on the overall picture. Best bet is to negotiate with your rep, assuming you work for a large enough company where your business counts, if you know what i mean. However, you do need to make sure the cell carrier will be compatible in other countries. i.e. GSM or CDMA
