Use the rate checker on the home page of Piranha. It shows which networks are available. And the rates--and the data rates are there also.
If you have the phone set to automatically choose networks you will not need to 'enter codes.'
With Piranha you will get 2 or 3 operators in each country rather than possibly one if you go with '1st party operator'.

If you choose one SIM from a big time operator you risk the quality of one operators ability to connect with its sister networks. Perhaps you will choose the wrong one!

Anyone else have an opinion on this??


additional stuff:
You can get the SIM while still home and test it on your phone here to check that it is working.
