[BITList] cell phones

I understand you can change the card- how much is a card, when does it expire and for how many minutes call time?

I can add minutes to my phone – $30 for 3 hours call time but it is good for only 90 days then it all expires – start all over again.
so its about $10/month for 60 minutes. that’s about as cheap as it gets but as I only use it for on-the-road emergency calls it is sufficient.

Obviously I can pay more and get more call time – $200 for 1 year with 4500 minutes [375 mins/month], an additional $20 doubles the call minutes.

Colin,

 

I have never had a service charge. I bought my Nokia phone in Spain with no restrictions to it, then I could change the card in it to a UK one when I was in UK or to a Spanish one when we were in Span. Lots of Europeans do that as they flit about to others countries. We had friends who lived in the next apartment to us and they had phone cards for Sweden, Germany, France and Spain. They used to take a week or two weeks to drive from Sweden to Spain depending what mood they were in. You may pay more money out to buy the phone, but it is not tight to a company and it works out cheaper as time passes.

 

Malcolm.
