If I am going to use my cell phone and just pay roaming while visiting my daughter in Italy, do I need to get my phone unlocked by TMob. I thought I only needed to get it unlocked if I was gonna buy an Italian sim card which Im not. Also, I think I might roll the dice and use my tri band and try to get by on the 1800 freq as I will be in urban areas such as Milan and Rome and otherwise with her so I can use her phone in a pinch.

I was looking at quad band phones thou on my Tmobile website and the Nokia 6086 and Nokia 6133 are somewhat intriguing to me. So, I might just go out and upgrade to one of those. I have all the Nokia accessories such as the car adapter and battery chargers (2) so I might as well stay withing Nokia.

I can upgrade for 49.00 and it only extends my contract 1 year and 2 months which I could care less about since I am happy with Tmob.
