Got an iPhone and traveling abroad? This is a must-read for you:

I later wished I had asked more questions, especially when my husband called midway through my trip, asking why the bill for four days of iPhone use was $500.

By then, I had been in Europe for a month and realized that my next AT&T bill would be astronomical. I had been taking and sending photos, reading and writing e-mails, surfing the Internet, downloading digital newspapers and watching mindless YouTube footage with abandon. What I didn't know was that under the little apple on the iPhone case, a megabyte meter was whirring like a windmill in a hurricane.

The bottom line: about $5,000, and I hadn't made a single phone call.

Yikes!
