My wife and I plan to bring our T-Mobile phones with us this summer. I've read a fair number of posts on using phones abroad and know the options for us are 1) rent/buy phones that can be used in Europe, 2)buy SIM cards while in Europe, or 3) use the international calling plan offered by T-Mobile.
Our phones are quad band and we have had the international plan activated. However, I'm not super crazy about paying .99/min for calls. We don't plan to use our phone that often, but being the value shopper that I am, I was wondering what the options were (if there were any) for SIM cards that will work in multiple countries.
We will be in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany, but only for ranges of 3-10 days in each country. I know we could buy a SIM for each country, but I doubt we'd use it much (not sure how small an amount one could buy either) in each country and then we'd have to buy another when we go to the next country.
So, anyone have any experience with multi-country SIM cards, (our first stop is Amsterdam) and how much are the charges per minute (on either multi or single country SIMs?). Maybe it's not worth it and we just pay the T-Mobile rate. Thanks!
