You need to see the cost of a call by a roamer in one country to another. The charges are stratospheric.

For the countries I spent most time in, this is simply not true. There is no difference for me whether I am calling to either Canada/US from either Canada/US. The roaming rates in Euro countries (mainly Balkan) I spent time in also conflict with your claim: my cost for "local" calls is virtually the same as if I were using a locally activated phone and my cost for mobile long distance back to North America is the same as if I were making the call from a landline.

I don't know, maybe I'm lucky, and if someone has different data for different countries I'd be interested in seeing it.
