using as Satallite phone?

as far as unsecured Im pretty sure he means that there is no passkey that needs to be put in to connect.


Amsterdam Im sooooooo jealous. I know a few people that have been there several times. Me and my buddys are trying to set a trip like that too... I would really like to see the pyramids.

Try and call one of the hotels that you are staying at. If it is a bigger hotel chain that is international odds are someone will know what is a better plan. Or maybe a visitors bureau. If its gonna be any phone its gonna have to be GSM though if you go the pre-paid route.

Some prepaid phones that you can buy here might even have international capabilities. Then before you leave set up your phone to forward all calls to the prepaid one. Huh dont know if that will be free though.

sprint offers rental phones that will do CDMA and GSM for internationals just *2 and ask them about it....it will use your normail mins
