[QUOTE="digginestdogg, post: 951162, member: 128578"] I'd just rent a Euro phone for that short a period--you'll get a far better rate and service and then have a pristine iPhone when you return. I read somewhere (David Pogue maybe a year ago) that more and more travelers leave their iPhones at home and rent in the EU if there for a lengthy trip. Much more economical but you might want to cost out rental with iPhone US account versus iPhone foreign charges. ATT might either be willing to cut you a better deal or put the account on hold while you travel. Just my opinion and perspective, but I would never jail-break my iPhone--more than all the problems (viruses, crashes, etc.) I'd worry that one of these days ATT or Apple may do what Microsoft did recently to XboxLIVE hackers--kill the account for violation of terms of service or "brick" the phone. If I ever felt my iPhone was not the best for me as it is, I'd go out and buy what I thought was better. Hasn't happened, even with Droid so far. But ATT's lousy coverage and whining CEO are increasingly annoying. [/QUOTE]
