For years I have been using an old T-mobile ( bought in Germany many a year ago phone , I charge it here ( I have the 220 outlets here in my kitchen), since often I still have some money in the phone, thus can let everybody here know I have arrived in Frankfurt, then over there I put about 20 Euros on it and can telephone all over Europe and also back to the US for cheap. .By now it is such a heavy klunker, but it works fine. If anybody is interested ---- . Just to know: when you buy a cheap cellphone in Germany, the overseas calls to here are cheaper when made from Germany proper, from the other European countries they are more. The other countries have , a least used to have, the same rules.

Check into buying a sim card card for a carrier that works in the

comparable if not cheaper then here in the states.

When poking around on the internet, it seems that I would need to
jailbreak the phone to use another sim card. Is this true, or do the two
topics naturally get discussed at the same time?
