To be honest, I've never let those choices get in the way between us.
When I spoke the word "family", I meant it as the words of AT&T, not
of mine.  Jettisoning AT&T's "family" is a far more enjoyable
experience than jettisoning one's own real family.

Understood.  I also acknowledge I don't know what alternatives from other
carriers might be considered in the international arena.


The rest of what you say I can't add anything to.
