I tried to stay away from checking browsing out myself. You you can enable/disable as you like but the $20/month are for the calendar month and will not reduce if you disable after a week. I won't even mention international voice fees...painfully expensive. My experience is a bit different:

It doesn't always happen but 9 out of 10 customers get charged even with the 20 international data feature for BB, however it's specified to only apply to to data sent over the BIS and BES tunnel IE pin messages are free email's are free web browsing and theathering are not. And if ure using a UMA device and you think roaming international is free guess again even while on WIFI they still charge you the international rate.
