Think I have it figured out for Italy/France/UK trip - Page 3

Can I pop a Wind SIM in my phone and make and receive calls or is it just for mobile data? I will get one for my wife and I. Be nice if we can call each other cheaply too. I will just get SIMs for each country then. What's recommended for UK and Austria for data and voice access via smartphone? Gawd we'll die without live GPS.

Search through this forum for info on yesss!. I think they still have the best offer, and you can pick up their SIM's at any Hofer supermarket, which are all over the place.

Works for me then.. Does this Yesss have coverage across Austria and out of the towns? And when I get one of these things, what about instructions on how to use them? All in German? And getting credit balance?

Do I need ID or anything else to get pre-paid SIMs?

Great!!! So Three pre-paid for the UK, Wind for Italy, Yesss for Austria, now just France, Croatia and Bosnia to sort out! VIPNet seems quite good in Croatia..

And how much can you generally expect to pay for a SIM and to activate it, is it expensive?

And these will just work in our unlocked 900 / 2100 UK model phones?
