How is it that Denmark is among the most wired and mobile-ified countries, and yet AT&T can't do much for me? Thanks for the tips. Damn.

So, you need to pay for the international features for at least 3 months to ensure you get the proper billing rate - not very convenient for a 1-week trip.

One other note -- it's pro-rated, depending on the date of your billing, so if you sign up on the 20th of the month you may only pay $8.00 (for the last 10 days), but you'll also only get a fraction of the 20MB bandwidth to use until the next month starts.
