This happened to me when I went to Europe in 2005. I called AT&T and inquired about and then added their international thing (I think it was $10/mo at that time), and no one told me that calls would be billed at exorbitant rates. I forget the charge per minute, but $5 seems a little high, but not by that much. Why did they neglect to mention this? I have no idea.

I didn't make many calls while I was there, but still had a $500 phone bill. AT&T split the difference with me, but it was an infuriating experience, and I'll never go back to AT&T as a result.
