UK Mobile phones in Aus
Hello
We have a Nokia 3330 which we want to take on holiday from the UK to Australia next week....mainly to keep in touch with friends we are travelling with and then splitting up for a while. Will this phone work over there? Also...when we are dialling our friends number, do we have to use the Australian country code or can we just dial the normal number? Mick |

Mick Depends whether your phone is locked to a particular network. Check with your service provider. If you're using global roaming, you'll pay through the nose for both inward and outward calls. If your phone is not locked, you'd be best buying a prepaid simcard from one of the major operators, which will give you a dedicated Australian mobile number, you can receive calls free of charge (some charge a small fee for retrieving messages), and pay a more economical rate. At the moment you can buy a really cheap Motorola package C115 from Vodafone for $39.95, including prepaid calls to the value of $30. It's unlocked, so you can use it on any network.
