mobile on Reccy
Hello
Can anyone tell me if my Orange Mobile phone will work in Oz when we go on our Reccy?
We have our flights booked for the end of October and just wondered if i can get text messages from uk. We will be staying in Caloundra if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any information you can give me.

Ring your service provider and they will enable your phone so you can use it abroad
