Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone got any suggestions.
I was going to put my PAY-AS-YOU GO SIM into my work phone(don't want to be geting work calls while I'm on the slope) so that I can keep in touch with the others in the group (36 of us) but
Orange PAYG - To call another mobile will be £1.20 per minute
Recieve a call 60p per minute
Send a Text 40p
I was thinking it may be cheaper to get an Italian PAYG sim. Has anyone got any experience or recomendations.

I tried but found them to be a pain in the backside(may have just been the ones I bought). Besides which I need to be able to contact the wife back in resort while she looking after my 2 year old son to arrange meeting for lunch etc.. (Is 2 too young to get him on skis, I think it is?)

Pete1909, how much would it cost you to use your work phone? I mean, leave it switched off most of the time, and use it to send/receive texts?

Not sure I'll have to check. Need the mobile to send pictures to friends back home (It's always good to wind them up )

You'll need to Register first of course.

Pete1909, ah, if you are using it to send MM messages, then you'll want to check your prices again! (last time I checked, it was about 75p on contract, or £1.50 on PAYG)

On O2 network, I can text another UK mobile without it costing me anything, they just deduct 4 texts from my monthly allowance. I still managed to go over the 500 this month though . I'd forgotten I had half the text allowance on the iphone contract as I did on my previous one, despite it costing me the same.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Last time I bought an Itailan sim in 2006 it took them three days to turn it on, and I had to provide loads of info including an italian address, can't remember if they needed a codice fiscale (NI number) as well.
Pain in the ass!!
Cheers,
