Global Cell phone How To??

[Moonliner]

How does the calling plan work on those?

I'm always leary about them due to the stories one hears about people receiving $5,000 phone bills.....

You can buy an international roaming plan.

RStar, make sure you turn off data on that phone or get an international plan. If it's a smart phone you will get charged every time the phone tries to synch for email or anything, even if it fails, and write down the name/date/time of that call for record keeping purposes.

Yes, I will be getting an international plan for the two weeks I'm there (the phone is a free loaner) for $2.50 for the two weeks, and the roaming charge is 99 cents a minute. Texts are 50 cents to recieve, 5 cents to send. I don't use internet, so that's off anyway. I have Verizon.

I just had a cheap pay as you go phone when I was in France. I had Orange, which is a French company, and I could buy more minutes at tobacconists, grocery stores or phone stores.

I hope your phone works out well for you.
