Matha thanks for the push, i think ill grab one of the Motorola V195 or V197 phones and decide on which one of the cards from Ebay that you suggested would work best.
Is there a difference in reliability/coverage between Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile? Or are they all about the same?
I should have known better than to post late last night after going out shopping for Tents, Backpacks, Sleeping Bags etc.
