That's why you get an unlocked phone and buy an international SIM chip that you swap in overseas. $20K/year is ridiculous, and probably an exaggeration or lie on his part to try to make himself look like a desirable customer.

Except you also incur roaming charges for receiving calls, and expecting people to call an overseas number (let alone keep them up to date on your whereabouts) really is pushing it.
