Default Cell phone for European travel

1. Get a simple, unlocked GSM phone on ebay.

Make sure it's at least tri-band (preferably quad-band) if buying in
the US.

If you buy in Europe, Belgium is the best place to buy because all
phones are unlocked (by law). You should find dual-sim phones for as
little as 30 EUR. Triple-sim phones go for around 90 EUR in Belgium.

There's nothing to stop users having more than one SIM card per
country.


That's the most sensible, in fact.

I suggest a 3 sim phone. Get a 15 EUR sim chip in each country you
enter.
