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.

You need a triband phone. I bought mine at Carphone Warehouse - it's a Motorola, so not exactly rubbish - for £25; including £5 airtime. That particular deal might no longer exist by the time you come here, but similar ones should be available - that way you get a decent phone on pay as you go which you can even use once you get home.

Should be worth investigating.
