GSM with a sim card?
Authored by: JamesK on Friday, August 10 2012 @ 04:22 PM EDT
If he did, he'd have to pay for usage on each one and also wind up with
different phone numbers.

BTW, this reminds me of something else that's useful for travellers. Different
countries may have different international long distance numbers, which have to
be dialed before the phone number. On cell phones, you can just use the +
character in place of the international number. It works no matter where you
are, even for local calls. For example, in most of Canada, we have 10 digit
numbers, with a 1 prefix (country code) for long distance and 011 for
international long distance. I can enter a number in my phone memory as
+1-123-456-7890 and no matter where I am in the world, that number will work.

On my phone, I can enter the + by holding the 0 for a couple of seconds.
