I've ordered the $52 "smartphone" quad-band (linked earlier here) from Hong-Kong off of eBay -- should have it in 3 weeks or so.
Now I need a SIM. Our plan was to find one on arrival in France, but I wonder.. that Vodaphone SIM you have: any idea what it might cost to charge up with 100 minutes of airtime for use in France, Germany, and Italy?
I take it the phone number associated with it would be an Italian number, right? That would actually be ideal, since most of the time it will be used in Italy on this trip.
Tell me more!!
