Given that unlocked GSM phones are available starting at 33 Euro, there is no point in renting one. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from China, Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Prague, Budapest, Singapore and Portugal |

Would also like a recommendation as to which phone I should select. DO NOT RENT! Rather, buy an unlocked GSM phone with at least the 900 & 1800 MHz bands (and maybe also 1900 MHz.) Buy a Riiing SIM card. Insert said SIM in said phone and follow instructions.
