Default Use in the US and the UK

Hi folks:

I went to the UK for the first time since I bought my MDAII last fall. I have the US T-Mobile service with unlimited GPRS. I was very glad when I arrived at Heathrow and I saw my phone signal "bright and clear". But I was surprised to also see my GPRS signal on and working!!!

I hesitated for a moment, and was too excited to hold myself. I decided to check my emails, and voila... it worked perfectly and fast. I am confused now since I thought that the GPRS access was driven by the APN setup in my MDAII. But it worked flawlessly for as long as I was in the UK.

I am a bit scared now about the charges for the data services (I also made and received a few phone calls). I guess I'll find out when I get my next bill.

Can anyone explain, just so I know, how is it that my GPRS worked in the UK?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge.

FMW

As crusin'thru says, you have roaming... my GPRS etc works too in the US albeit at quite a considerable cost... better to find a free wifi spot somewhere and 'net there instead.
