   Ah.  Settings | Mobile network (movistar) | Mobile data on/off and   
   Roaming on/off.  Both were on.  I was told that Keepgo used T-Mobile and   
   AT&T.  When I was setting it up the guy said that it was ok to leave   
   movistar there (as if I had an actual choice).  Movistar is a Spanish   
   network and Keepgo is supposedly in Spain.  OK...
