If it's GPRS, you should be fine. I asked because there is also dial-up
WAP. Well, I say that- I haven't used it in many years... It was very
expensive when used abroad (the same per minute price as roaming) and it
was also quite a flaky service. GPRS works well while roaming in my
experience. It's very useful- not just for email, you can check news
headlines, weather, train times, and so on.
