Hey guys,

I'm going to Prague in 2 weeks, and I wanted to pick up 3 an international cells or just the sim cards to use in an unlocked quad band phone so my friends and I can communicate. I'm thinking about going with a Passport US card from Telestial, but they give you a UK number and calling mobile to mobile is around .84 a minute.

Anyone have any experience with them or have any other suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

I would just get a local "prepaid" sim card as soon as you arrive . Your friends and family can reach you on the number you will communicate them and you do not pay a fortune receiving the call .Out going will cost about the same I presume . ($1 min to the US )

+1

If you have AT&T or T-Mobile, just have international service active on your account just in case somebody needs to get in touch with you and does not have the local prepaid number.

That's what I do.

as suggested - the local simcard would be the easiest and most economical option. I would also sticking with texting/SMS only as it is cheaper that way, unless it is an urgent matter, then the phone call.

Other than that, I use email to communicate when travelling.

much cheaper to get a local sim and use it when you're there

Roaming is shocking expensive

TattooedGQ · 16 July 2010, 09:11 AM

OK Local SIM it is!! Any idea where to get them? Airports, shopping centers etc??

esm · 16 July 2010, 09:32 AM

most airport should sell them after you have clear the customs. If not, major supermarket or petrol station should have them.

It would all good to go once it is activated.

Which phone are you planning in taking with you? A tri-band or a quad-band?

Perfect thanks Eric.....Motorola W450 quadband, unlocked. I'm pretty sure it'll work.

Btw - dont forget the charger and the adaptor ;-)
