Sim Cards

RE: [spiers] Sim Cards

Hi Linda,

I think the problem was your phone was locked, which is typical for our
phones here in the US. When I was there I had a shop unlock my phone.
Then I got a sim card. If you can I'd suggest to just get your phone
unlocked here before traveling over there (much easier).

But, the point I wanted to make is it is very convenient and cheap to
have a local sim card over there. I like the idea of having a local
number that people over there can use to reach me. Next time I go back,
I'll just pop in the sim card when I arrive and will be all set.

Unlocking my phone also had no impact on my service back here in the
US. I have Cingular, but I know of people with other carriers that
don't have problems using unlocked phones either.

I was wondering whether your recommendation of using Skype was just for
use from your computer or from a cell phone? I ask because I don't
know much about Skype and I think there is some fancy way to use Skype
from certain cell phones (and maybe you have good feedback on that).

Regards,
Victor
