In terms of international data roaming for a US customer, I've actually found AT&T quite reasonable. On a recent trip, I subscribed to the 120MB for $30 package which actually works pretty well for me rather than doing a lot of fussing around with local SIM cards.
But I suddenly get a warning message that I'm over $100 usage. I call AT&T. What had happened was that because of weather I had flown out early prior to my scheduled start of service. The AT&T rep was very friendly and back-dated by service start. Exactly the way to handle it. No complaints.
(On another trip I got a fairly large bill because of a big download I didn't mean to make. But that was really on me and I more blame the app maker for not warning me that I was making a 250MB download on 3G.)
