US system is crazy

Submitted by Guest on February 8, 2008 - 03:46.

I'm an American living abroad. When I took a camel safari out into the dunes of Rajasthan (India) and the camel guide's cell phone rang out in the middle of nowhere, that's when it hit me! what a crummy system we have in the US. *Why* "lock" cell phones in the first place? Why do you have to have "roaming" charges? I'll tell you why--to increase profit margins of big business. Something's wrong folks.
