I have 2 t-Mobile GSM phones. One is a triband and the other is a quad band
phone. I will be traveling from the USA to Manchester and Paris this summer
and would like to use one or both of my phones while there. Does anyone in
the group have ideas as to how to get the lowest rates? Are t-Mobile's
rates competitive?

Thank you for any help.

Both your phones will work in the UK and France. See www.telestial.com
for cards. I found that MobileOne in UK had rates of only 9 cents a min
to the US.

I don't know about the deals in the UK or Paris. Last week I was in Germany
and Tscibo had a pre-paid promo - a SIM card for 5 Euro with 10 Euro call
credit.

You might want to check around the local scene to figure out what the best
current deal is. A lot depends on where you are calling, etc.....

Hi,

I live in Florida and often travel to Europe.

You will only be able to use local SIM cards if you have your phones
unlocked. Otherwise, you will be limited to T-Mobile pre-paid SIM cards or
the US T-Mobile SIM card which will cost you 99 US cents per call.

What is a really good deal and I rely on it a lot during my travels is to
use T-Zones Internet connection to send and receive e-mails. Because unlike
the phone calls and text messages, the T-Zone access to send and receive
e-mails cost nothing other than the monthly T-Zone access fee.

As for longer phone chats, the best thing to do is to stop by at a local
Internet Cafe and use Skype for free or 2-3 US cents per minute calls to
landlines.

Bon Voyage,

Imre

Actually, T-Mobile charges $15/MB for international data roaming, but
it's been widely reported on Howard Forums that they often "forget" to
bill it.

I'm not sure I'd count on it being included, however.
