Short codes for international roaming -- is this normal?
We're going to be traveling abroad next month and I've heard enough horror stories about people getting socked with huge bills that I'm trying to disable charged international roaming. I see there...

I don't want to disable it entirely; I want to be able to use the data included with my plan. I just don't want those accidental and legendary $15/MB data charges. If using the account profile on the web site is enough, then that's fine. I just figured I'd look into an extra layer of protection from those huge charges, and was curious why these codes were not working.
I plan to call 611 and inquire about this; I just want to be as informed and educated as I can be before, and know the right questions to ask.
If you put an international block on, it will block everything when you are outside of the US. There are international roaming packages that might be worth considering. They add blocks of high speed data and other useful ways to stay connected while abroad.
