expensive.

I'm shipping the wife off to Europe for 4 weeks and she would like to take
her T-Mobile phone to Europe.  The T-Mobile rep said that they can unlock
the phone then it can be used in Europe using an over-the-counter SIM.  Has

After 10 years of using an old Motorola analog dinosaur, I recently
