February 6, 201214 yr I currently operate a basic push button phone, but may move to a smartphone. Considering use of the smartphone for travel (no call contracts): 1 Are there reasonable Pay as You Go SIM options with reasonable data download costs? The whole idea of having such a phone would be for browsing, map applications etc. 2 Do any of the smartphones have dual SIM capability? (For homecountry & destination SIM cards, I currently take 2 small pushbutton phones, which use the same very light USB charger. Purchasing 2 smartphones would be expensive). Presumably some of the early adopters might have experience of these issues?
February 7, 201214 yr No, I checked all the top smartphones out before I bought my Galaxy II, and none have a dual Sim card,. I think the progblem is that in most markets you can buy a roaming connection with an international 800 number for less then it would cost to have dual sims on your phone. I keep my smartphone when I travel and use cheap phones with my partner or just buy new sim cards. Depends on where I am going and how long I will be there.
