Re: The Great Big Cellphone Thread
I plan on buying an unlocked iPhone before I leave. It is pricey but it gives me peace of mind to know that I'll have it upon landing. Not sure of what to do while at the airport without a phone though...

Easy, get your phone unlocked and get a free sim from GiffGaff.com. £10 per month= 250 free mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet. Absolute no brainer. I'm emigrating to Canada on Sunday and am very sorry to be leaving such a great service behind!

Re: The Great Big Cellphone Thread
I have a buddy on Giff Gaff and he reckons that the calls drop alot of the time but its a good deal if it works in your area...I got 3 network £79.99 for the Galaxy mini and then 350 mins 3000 texts and inlimited internet all for £15 a month not bad I reckon.

ETA: I briefly visited the site. I does seem as if I can only purchase it in the UK but I could be wrong. Will take a closer look later, but thanks so much for the link

Re: The Great Big Cellphone Thread
No problem. I think it might be UK only for the time being but as far as I know, they are looking at introducing an International service soon. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. Have a look at their forums, that should give you more of an idea of whether you can use it. Good luck.
