I was talking to someone who'd gone recently and said it was really affordable to just buy a phone over there and buy a little bit of airtime.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, Dana. We're going to be in London first so I am sure we could find a place easily enough.

Clark Howard suggests buying a phone when you get there, particularly if you're only going to be in one country. He mentioned this place [link]

sj, you can also see if one of your friends has an old AT&T phone that they've upgraded from that you can borrow. I kept my old RAZR to use in Europe, all I need to do is buy a sim card and top up the minutes.

Would you get the hell out of my head? That's exactly what I did. The SIM cards live in the same travel wallet that hold my passports.

Um, sorella, we are damn near the same person. Basically, I'm just taller.

Sj,
I cannot find the service through my bookmarks, but I will look again later. Here is an article that might be of some use to you.

Funny thing -- managed to download the Windows 2000 driver, so was rethinking the purchase. But, I realized that new ink (printers been in a box for 3 years) would cost $75, so I might as well spend the extras $25 for a better printer that comes with ink.

MUCH taller! Even my 4 inch heels don't help.
