That’s not true about Cingular, which is now the new AT&T. AT&T provides the unlock code to its customers for use on their own cell phones, and the customer, can therefore, in fact, buy a sim card in Europe and use it in their own AT&T phone. By using the foreign sim card, it brings the rate down from $.99 per minute to as low as $.08 (this is for roaming). With SKYPE, doesn’t it have to be used from a computer - therefore, if someone wishes to call the US from other than the computer, then it’s somewhat limited - meaning that the person always has to be at the computer to make the call.
