I'd say if you're Data is connecting, if any data passes to a tower you'll be charged when in the states.

You shouldn't need a primer for TomTom7 unless you flashed a custom rom on top of the new bell rom, which seems to break the priming function of the new rom. It takes maybe 10secs to see the GPS then another 10secs or so to lock. Check your GPS receiver settings in TomTom. I use Other external GPS receiver and set to comm4. Internal works too.
