mobile phone

Hi, Doing a four week trip, starting from NY, driving through southern states, flying home from Nashville. I want to have a phone for local use. Do I buy one (triband?) with a top up card or is there another system available, like rental?....... Thanks.

just put your sim card if want to keep in and ring your network and tell them what you are doing

if pay as you go put what you can on then leave your card with someone and then get in touch if want them to top up for you

let me know how you go on lynda

Just be very careful of your costs. I was there in November and it was costing me 1.60euro a minute. I know Irish tarriffs are a lot higher. Just check out your roaming costs before you leave and if you have to pay if someone rings you also. Enjoy your trip.

Hi Lynda, Thanks for the info, so if I have triband, I just use a sim card from the states, I don%26#39;t want it for ringing home, only over there........regards, John.

Did it last year in LA with a T-Mobile prepaid Sim card, cost me about 50 dollars and got 125 minutes of call time.

There are several t-mobile stores in Manhattan.

Thanks for your help everyone. I%26#39;ll get the prepaid sim card in the States.

reagards, John
