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.

If all else fails, I have an unlocked UK handset which you can borrow if I am not using it myself at the time. It's an old one so it's only dual band, but it should cover all of Western Europe. You'll need to buy local SIMs when you get there.
You'll need to take a 240V charger (or transformer and plug adapter), or buy one there. However... If you are taking a laptop, you can probably buy a USB charger cable for the phone. These aren't entirely convenient, because you have to power up your laptop to charge the phone, but it does mean one less power brick to carry around. Fry's have them for a lot of models.
