Roaming data charges for cell phones are *criminal*.

I just got back from a work trip to NYC that spanned all of 4.5 days.  This afternoon, Bell Mobility  just texted me to say that I owe them over $250.  Astounded, I phoned them up to see what the heck was going on, and it turns out they want $300+ for 11MB of transfer.

For a bit of comparison here, our household last month had a slight overage on bandwidth and we paid CDN $1 for each 1G over our limit.

So... really... wtf?  What a scam!
