Hello again. Traveling to Germany - Switzerland - Salzburg over the course of a couple of weeks in late May.
My wife and I are traveling with another couple on our upcoming trip and we were thinking that having a couple of inexpensive cell phones to use would be a wise choice. On a trip to Paris a couple of years ago we bought a cell phone that started with a 20 minute talk time - but unlimited texts - for about 40 Euro (if my memory is correct).
Are the locations in Frankfurt airport for purchasing a cell phone recommended? Or perhaps we should wait until we get to our first stop that afternoon in Bacharach? We'll also be in Kelsterbach to pick up the rental car (Avis) - perhaps a location in Kelsterbach?
I'm guessing that the locations in the airport speak English regularly - frankly my Deutsch is 30 years out of date and maybe not so good even back then. But perhaps the local stores would be less expensive and have a broader selection of companies/etc.
ADDED: So I looked at the o2 Germany website and assuming my translation is ok - it looks like they offer a no contract Samsung phone with 5 minutes of talk time for 20 EU with unlimited texts to other phones on the o2 system. So if both couples bought one of these phones (and maybe another 30 minutes of talk time) we would be 'in high cotton' as they say here in the south (we would have everything we need).
