If I connect to a wifi network overseas, does it still count as data roaming?
I'm going on a trip to Argentina and Uruguay and I wanted to use my iPhone's internet (it's the first generation if that makes a difference). I know that data costs money overseas and can easily cost a lot of money if used often, but if I use the wifi connection, will it still cost me to use the internet?

No that doesn't count as data roaming because your using a figure that came with the phone.

If you are connecting for instance to a hotel's wireless connection using 802.11 (Wifi), then there should be no charge as you are not connecting through the cell network, but through the hotel (or other host's) connection.
