Using AT&T Tilt outside of USA after installing Modaco Nodata
Hello Folks,
In a nutshell - can we use the phone to make and receive calls outside of USA after installing Modaco Nodata utility?
So we now know that by installing Modaco Nodata or similar utilities, we can prevent the smart phone from automatically using AT&T EDGE/GPRS/3G when we are trying to use Wi-Fi. This will avoid surprise bills.
My question is - after installing and configuring the Modaco Nodata, will I be able to take my phone to a different country and use its quadband ability to make and receive calls? I am under the impression that we need 3G to use this phone in different countries? I think I am wrong. I definitely know that EDGE and GPRS aren't into picture here.
Thanks a lot!

GPRS, EDGE, and 3G are not exclusively data networks. They are cellular network standards that carry voice and data.
You will need a SIM card and service from a local cellular providor or you will be paying International roaming charges for all calls made on your Tilt. This will require that the device be unlocked to use another carriers SIM card and service.

But do you think I should be all set to make and receive voice calls outside of USA (given that I unlock the device and buy a local service there) *after* I install Modaco Nodata?
Thanks a lot for your accurate response. Once I receive a response to above questions, I think this issue is resolved once and for all 🙂 Has anyone tried roaming around without a data plan and Modaco Nodata installed and successfully avoided data connections and used just wifi?
