I'm heading to Thailand next week and will be meeting up with friends at some point. Any suggestions on the use of a cell phone so I can get in touch with people? Buy one with a calling card? Rent one? Bring my own?
Thanks

Re: cell phones abroad
Thu, December 13, 2007 - 12:57 PMif you currently have verizon wireless, they have a pretty good rental program. they fedex you the phone and you fedex it back (in a provided envelope) when you get home. You can even forward your own phone to that rental.
Ive used it in Europe.

you can unlock an old phone, just hit google for directions,

Probably a bit more than most places would charge. You can also get pre-paid sims in most countries, including the US now. Buy them overseas when you get them, or pay a bit more and get one mailed to your home in the US before you leave!
