Try it at Google Send

While roaming overseas, if you are not already aware, roaming data rates are prevalently high in most countries. This is probably with the exception of the EU mobile operators who are coming under pressure to drop their roaming data rates. An example of how much data costs per MB (standard unit), 1 MB of data can cost as much as €5 ~ €10 or (S$10 ~ S$20) when roaming. That's rather steep when

By now, its probably well-known that Singapore is advocating free wireless internet access islandwide (till December 2009)! But before you get too excited about it, the coverage is pretty much confined to public access areas such as shopping malls, cafes, libraries etc.It's very much driven by the InfoComm Authority (IDA) of Singapore, and allows you to use free WiFi of up to 512kbps at 3
