Hi
Can anyone recommend a reliable card for Europe, Egypt, Morocco and Asia?
I have an unlocked quad band phone which I want to use when travelling just for text and the occasional call to book hotels, confirm flights, etc. No long conversations and I use internet cafes to email home.
Also to be used in Oz for occasional text and emergency calls only.
You can see I am not a power user!
I was looking at UM+ but note from another post that it is no use for outgoing calls in Morocco.
Travelsim seems a reasonable deal, and I like the 24 month period and its rates in OZ, which are close to Telstra's. Only thing is I would have to get a local card to use in Vietnam which it doesn't cover.
Would Travelsim be reliable in the places I wish to go? How about Yackie?
And one other newbie question---if I get a local sim card in Vietnam or elsewhere is it simple to swap cards in the phone? Do you just change cards and they work? And then change them back?
Any input would be much appreciated.
Cheers

?
