Using Your Cell Phone in Europe.

If you have a G3 phone and use ATT / Cingular or TMobile, you can use it in Europe. All you need to do is enable international roaming on your phone by calling your carrier customer service. It's not cheap, but it's not too expensive either. Prices will vary on your carrier, but if you use Cingular, here is the link to check if you have a G3 phone and the prices per call / text:

Cingular Standard International Roaming in France is $1.29 per minute and $.50 per text message. My guess is that most other carriers are about the same.

If your phone is not G3, you can buy a new phone from your carrier or buy a phone from a Mobal (see my earlier posting).
