I have one of those wonderful iphones which is on unlimited data in the UK but very expensive to use in the US roaming

is there anything special I could buy or get to allow unlimited or cheap internet access when I'm out and about in orlando?

You should be able to turn Data Roaming off (Settings -> General -> Network) to avoid accidentally using international data roaming. :mental:

Then, find yourself a free wi-fi hotspot and use it. :thumbsup:

There are even a couple of iPhone apps that will supposedly help you find a hotspot. I haven't tried any of them but I know they exist. :unsure:

There's getting to be more and more of them including the people who have a wireless router but forget to lock it down. :nono:

Most of the Starbucks have wireless available. Some of it's free, some isn't. Public libraries, hospitals, etc are getting it more and more.

Usually if you snoop around you can find a free one. :mental:
