Buy a local sim card! we found ours in the shop in the Samokov. We bought 1 each for 20 lev each and it comes with 15 lev credit - bargain. we sent nearly 10 texts each to uk every day and there was still a bit of credit (about 2 levs) left, We got back on the 28th jan and just had to book for 11 March to use our remaining credit. Waste not want not lol

Or buy some walkie talkies as you can get a decent pair for under £50 and they last for years!

Thanks everyone. x

Walkie talkies the way to go. If I hear a bloody mobile phone ringing on the slope, the recipient will have a snowball in the head!

Leave it at home or for emergencies only. Some people like the solitude and silence of skiing not crazy bloody frogs!
