Vodafone (and other companies) operate in a number of countries, I've heard of one company (name escapes me) that does deals with carriers so you aren't roaming. I don't know about European countries, I haven't been to any, but in Australia and NZ vodafone has kiosks in the airports the most int'l visitors fly into so you can get a pre-pay or post-pay sim etc. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Global Communication for the 21st Century "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip."
