Re: Renting/Buying a cel phone for Europe?
If you are travelling round europe then I am not sure PAYG is the right option for you call charges outside of say the UK would be pretty high eg if calling the states all the time.
There may well be mainland europe services that offer better roaming packages but as far as I know the uk tends not too we dont get out as much. Vodaphone has some offers but I suspect they are for calling back to the UK.
Just checked Oranges prices and payg calling from france is over $2 a minute and just over $1 a minute to receive calls. Seems to be a pretty much standard price for mainland europe so getting a UK phone probably isnt worth it.
