strongly recommended.  or, as here in fiji, one can get a phone
unlocked for a few bucks (couple of guys on a bench in a street
stall).

voicestream is t-mobile.  telephant stupidity and error rate are
proportional to size.  hence, coverage and intl roaming with clue
and good billing are not likely.

but at least some branch of t-mobile and at&t have something to
do with the internet, though i doubt that makes this thread on
topic.
