You might want to forward your calls to your handset, a number of countries, not sure about the ones you listed, all do free inbound calls, and pushing calls over voip to most countries is pretty cheap, then you don't have to worry about collecting emails :) > Mostly I want data to stay current with email, and so I can use my GPS > with google maps. You might want to look into something like TrekBuddy (not sure if it works on nokia's) it allows you to pre-do maps and store them on the handset so you don't need network connectivity. > The phone is unlocked because I bought it that way (check on Amazon for > the Nokia E71.

I don't recall specs of the phone, but is it quad band GSM/triband 3G? if not you might have issues, although nearly all GSM based handsets are quad band these days. -- 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."
