| 1147153 | 2010-10-24 00:16:00 | Anyone found affordable options for using a mobile overseas? I'm just back from a trip in Europe and the Middle East and my HTC Snap on Telecom XT found a service provider just about everywhere I went. However, the astronomical roaming costs severely restricted my use of the phone. I took an old phone with me and bought a sim card in a couple of countries, but had to buy another sim for each country. Is there a better way? | Serendip (16038) | ||

Try to visit countries that need invasion once you sign up. Other than that - I got nothin'. I think I forgot my medications today. ALL day. Maybe last night too. |

| 1147158 | 2010-10-24 17:43:00 | There's also ekit (ekit.com) which is what Contiki recommends for Europe. Haven't had a chance to compare it with any other providers yet, but I'm going to Europe for a few months at the end of the year so will be interested to hear what others have to say. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
