Cell phone use in Europe? Ok, so we leave in one week and six days, but again who is counting. ;) We have Iphones and my Dad was checking into options for us while in Europe. AT&T said we can buy text packages for $10 that include about 50 texts each. Also, we can send emails & use skype for free in wifi spots. They said best option if we want to call is to buy a pay as you go phone once we get over to Europe. Has anyone done this? Maybe it's easy, I've been trying to read and it sounds a little complicated to me and I'm wondering if it's worth it with the text, email & skype options? Thanks! |
What we have done when going to Europe is ....they sell calling cards in little convience stores ...they are much cheaper and can be used at any payphone. Have a wonderful trip. |

Thanks! Are there payphones all over Europe? You don't see that many here anymore. |
When in Italy, we just made a few calls on the cell phones after setting them up thru AT&T for $5, it cut down on some other other charge. The key is not to die on the phone..Hello, how are you, we are fine, goodbye! |
I only use pay as you go phones here, just get a cheap phone and put 20 euro on there, it'll take you pretty far, I think I throw 25 euro per month on my phone and always have carry over...so I recommend pay as you go, you'll probably save money that way, it'll be easy to fall into using your phone just like you normally would without realizing it. |
My sister is in England right now visiting relatives and she is calling me on her cell phone. I told her she better not be running up my cell phone bill. lol She did mention that the At & t phone she has can be used for international calling. Its not a pay as you go , but one of the features on her phone. The connection is fine. Have a great trip. |

When I travelled out of the country last year with AT&T (iPhone), I got the International plan and it wasn't much at all. I called my daughter at home (with the yorkie boyz) most every day. I cancelled the minute we got back to the states. It worked great and I did not have a big bill the next month. |

Best I can tell from the bill the international plan was $38.99 for one month. I only used it for one week and I had a credit of $21.66. But my total bill for the month we were out of the country was only $12.00 higher than usual. So, I'm not sure how that all worked out. |

You can also add skype to your Iphones and its free calls for skype to skype, and very cheap rates for calls to lan lines, like 2c/min |

I know in wifi spots, we can skype & send emails for free. We are also buying text packages. I was just trying to figure out if there was an affordable phone option. Thanks! |
