Phones in Europe

[ritaxis]

Okay, you seasoned travelers, you. I have a Cingular LG something-cheap phone. I do not understand the website which is supposed to explain whether my phone will work in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. I think this is possibly connected to the fact that what bthey really want you to do is to rent an "international" phone for $8 a day or $99 a month, or possibly buy a new phone from Cingular.

What's your experience? Can I use my phone? Emma has a fancier Nokia something-not-so-cheap.


I've been doing very little studying and planning for this trip because frankly the idea of getting into an airplane and going somewhere has me nauseous, and that's even before I start worrying about the dog and the cat. But it's less than six weeks away now so I have to get things in order.

I don't know much about phones, but I will point out that just about everyone in both the Netherlands and Denmark speaks excellent English, so you shouldn't have that to worry about, at least. (I gather that trying German is not recommended.)

I'm leaving for China in a week, and I just realized today that I don't even know if my money-card will work properly there.
