Is the Day Pass worth it?
Yes, if you use your phone all day — maps, messaging, data and calls. No, if you'd only turn it on to call a U.S. hotline: one call costs $12 with the pass, and if you forget the pass, every minute on hold costs $4.00/min.
Calls to 1-800 numbers on hold are the classic trap: you pay full roaming for the music.
