Hi, I was interested to read all about the global sim, UK and US for that matter too. I didn't know they existed so thanks for the additional information. This isn't needed right now but could come in very handy. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Deon van Wyk Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 10:08 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: 02 PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE PHONES WITH SPEECH Hi, got a 6600 from VodaFone at £130; no contract. Am using the Global SIM from http://www.0044.co.uk/global-sim-card.htm both for UK and international calls. The sim works in about 70 countries and in some 65 of those you don't pay to receive calls.
