There are very few tri-band GSM phones (Ericcson has the T-26, Motorola has the Timeport), but even they can only be served on one network at a time. Outside of perhaps certain Asian countries, if you want to guarantee maximum coverage, you have to have at least one phone that is on each network in your home country during the time you are there (when you're not, you pay roaming fees). Unfortunately, there are no multiple SIM phones, unlike the multiple NAM phones you can easily get in the US. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
