Hello Michael
I live in England but I am in New Zealand for 10 weeks.
I am using Dial.Pipex and a service called Global Roaming. I do know that
AOL also have this service. If you contact them they will explain it to
you. But basically there is a monthly charge. Then you will have to pay
for phone calls in UK. but with global roaming if you are bringing a
lap-top with you configure your mail to dial the local number in the
country you are in, so at least the phone calls are charged at a local
rate. In New Zealand I have been given 5 numbers so as I move around the
country I can change the number I dial.
A phone call to AOL will give you the information or you can go to the
dial.pipex web page www.dial.pipex.com then click on services and on
roaming and then you can find the countries that offer the service and the
numbers to dial.
I hope this helps.

best wishes
Sandra
