I have heard T-Mobile's a good company if you do a lot of overseas travel by comparison to some of the other US providers. I do not have them, nor do a lot of traveling abroad, but they included that in their sale pitch when they jumped me at the mall.

Tmobile will hit you for a buck a minute, but it does work.Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.Comment

depends on your cellphone, not operator (usually).
If you have quad-band, it should work. Of course the roaming makes it expensive, but if you have a regular dual-band phone, it won't work in europe no matter what roaming deals your operator has with dutch operators.
European cells are 900/1800mhz and the us cells at 850/1900 MHz..and I'm off.Comment

bring a US one, cause calling cards arent that common in Holland, never used one here not even sure weve got dutch ones...Originally posted by Phoenix

just call your carrier and make sure they have roaming agreement with a european carrier. I am with Rogers /ATT in Canada , no problem making or receiving calls. My last bill when I was in Prague and Hungary was under a hundred, I was expecting a lot worst
ps and as TGF said , you do need a quad band phone

if you want calling cards you probably have to go to some small (mostly arabic) phone shop/cafe. But that's still better then roaming, I've done it when I had a US cellphone and it cost me a small fortuneComment

Visitors from the USA and Canada
In the USA and Canada the GSM frequency is 1900 MHz. The GSM frequency of mobile networks outside the USA and Canada is 900 MHz or 1800 MHz. If you have a dual band handset (900/1800 MHz or 900/1900 MHz) or a triple band handset (900/1800/1900 MHz) you can use it in the Netherlands. However, if you have a single band handset (1900 MHz) you can not use your handset outside the USA and Canada. It is possible to buy or rent a dual or triple band phone and use your own SIM card.

time to get a new phone, pick up a blackberry 7290 its a quad band and it will do everything. But if you do decide to buy something new , make sure they unlock it , so you Can use it abroad. Most of them are locked because of fraud. I had a tri band phone prior to this and it wouldnt work , the quads will.Originally posted by Lensman

i travel all over and i believe that T-Mobile GSM tri/quad band phones are the best option for maximum coverage in Europe and AsiaOriginally posted by LensmanComment

Agreed,Originally posted by Pleasurepays
T-Mobile is based on TDMA technology @ 1900MHZ (GSM)
Cingular is based on TDMA technology @ 900MHZ and TDMA @ 1900MHZ
Nextel is based on TDMA technology @ 1700MHZ
Sprint is based on CDMA technology @ 1900MHZ (PCS)
Verizon is based on CDMA technology @ 900MHZ and CDMA @ 1900MHZ
If you have cingular or t-mobile, you can use your phone in other countries, however the carrier has to unlock your phone for international use. This usually requires 3-6 months of service before they will unlock the phones for you. You can purchase unlocked phones from ebay or private parties that are ready to be used overseas.
Once you are over there, you can purchase pre-paid minutes if you have a phone that works on their system. This is usually much cheaper than paying the $1.50 that t-mobile wants to charge me for Australia. I'd be interested to hear what the Amstradam charges are.

Get your phone unlocked at your nearby dirty phone dealer. You can get a chip in AMS for like 15E that will give you a rate of .35E per min local calling. You can get a phone card in AMS from the local dirty phone stores that will let you get cheap calls to the US from the cell.
And SkypeOUT kicks ASS.Comment

T-Mobile works fine. It is not cheap. $.99US per minute. Soon that will be less than 0.35 EuroLast edited by Probono; 09-08-2005, 09:33 AM.Comment

I would recommend buying a prepaid cellphone SIMcard in Holland, I'm pretty sure it will fit in your phone ( you'll have a different number though )Comment

I've been concerned about that too. I'm suprised that Verizon and others haven't come up with a good and affordable solution for international business travelers especially for people who use devices like that mega-Samsung i730 like Lens's. Anyone have any info on new services and technology coming out soon or in the works?Comment

Oor if you have an unlocked phone you could order one of these SIM Cards and a prepaid time card. Or Order a package with the phone, card and time

Verizon does not work in Europe. Their solution is for you to rent a satellite phone.Originally posted by Lensman
T-Mobile, I believe, currently sells 'international' phones that will work in Europe.Raven

Just buy a disposable phone or a prepaid simcard, in the end it's gonna cost you less than your roaming costs
