I know I need to buy a quad band phone that has compatablility in the country I will be in. And I know I should buy prepaid Sim Card unless I want to pay out the ass for international calls on my provider.
My questions are... I am visiting many countries in Europe, will I have to buy a new Sim for each country? (example UK, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Czech, Sweden, etc)?
The sim just makes the phone to where its *from* the part of the world I am calling from so its not international roaming, Correct? (if that makes sense), So I would still have to buy airtime correct?
What about if I am just wanting to be able to receive/make calls here and there from home *US* and call a fellow backpacker or hostel here and there? What you think would be best for me... I havent had a cell phone in year and if I had one right now at home I would never use it. When I get one it will pretty much be for my trip which went from being 1 month, now in the last week I am planning for 3 months!
Yea I am a moron I know.... Just trying to get this all figured ou from those who know...
Thanks,
Matt
