great input. i appreciate the detail. sounds like i need to research roaming contracts for the international sim and compare with effendi's list. then i'll chat with my daughter about any holes in coverage and gage her level of comfort. then we'll make a decision on a 900/1800 phone.

at the moment i'm leaning toward getting a cheap, no frills, 900/1800 phone for backup. not a major investment. that way she'll have her se for sending pictures back to her sister. (that could get expensive!) and she could also use the backup with a local sim in case some of her travel friends decided to split up for the day.

thanks again to all for your feedback.
