Sorry if this is a bit OT, but I'm going to Europe for a week in May,
and I'll be in several countries.
I bought an unlocked Nokia E71 phone, so I figure it'll handle whatever
is out there, but if I try and use my Fido SIM card while overseas I
will pay in ways that I don't want to think about (I've heard plenty of
horror stories about massive roaming charges, and even more for data).
I've been trying to figure out if I can get a Vodafone card or something
that'll allow me to get data when I'm out and about (I've gotten hooked
on using Google maps with the GPS in my E71). A little experiment just
now showed that the data I'd consume, at the rate Fido charges, would
end up costing me potloads of money for very little actual data (they
charge $0.03 per kb, which adds up really fast.
Anybody have any experience or advice to offer?
Much obliged,
Jim
