So, I purchased a quad-band unlocked cell phone to use on our upcoming trip to New Zealand. At the same time, I purchased a “Pay as you Go” sim card from T-Mobile.

Mobile Phones — What I’ve Learned
After struggling through two trips to Europe without a cell phone, it seemed like time to find out about traveling with one. In the U.S. we call them “cell phones” while in Europe, and I believe in most of the rest of the world, they are called “mobile phones” or simply “mobiles”.
New Website “Sim Card Info”
Well, my family and I are planning a small vacation to New Zealand. Since we are flying down there without any hotel reservations (flying standby), I knew that we would need a mobile telephone (cellphone) that would work and not cost too much per minute. Also, my daughter will be spending a couple of months in England this summer before she starts University, and my mother in law, in a third country, has a need for a phone.
After a time consuming web search, I found that there was no one place where information about traveling with your phone could be found. So, I decided to create one.
For now, I will post my information with wordpress blogging software. Later, I may move it to a different platform.
If you have any information that you would like to add, please email me at simcardinfo (at) gmail.com.
