I wil be visiting Italy in a month and also Tanzania.
Should I buy a 900/1800/1900 phone from eBay and then buy SIM cards in each location or should I buy a 900/1800/1900 phone when I arrive in Italy? I will need to call into my office daily and once I finish traveling (total 24 days), I will probably not be traveling abroad (retiring to FL) anymore. Thanks. |

Possibly. Look at the International SIM card options as well. I'm pretty sure that United Mobile offers free incoming in Italy, Tanzania, and Kenya. I only mention Kenya since you will probably have to transit through Kenya when travelling to and from Tanzania. If you combine the SIM card with a callbackworld, you have $0.14 a minute to the US from both locations and a common phone number in both places.
You should be careful with your slang on an international forum. FL is the country code for Lichtenstein and the State abbreviation for Florida. I presume you mean Florida from the context. Stu |

If you're really retiring to Liecthenstein, then buy a Riing/UM sim card and register it on its home network when you come back from Tanzania, so you can get a Liechtenstein phone number in advance... B)
