re: mobile phones......homecoming!!!!

Did you realise you pay for ALL incoming calls and texts whilst over there? And at a very high rate.

That thing in front of the passenger in your car is called a glovebox.

INSTRUCTIONS.........

Press button and glovebox willl open.
Turn off phone, and insert phone into glovebox.
Close glovebox.

You will find this works well, and does not incur any charges whilst abroad.

Works for me Razz

Buy a local sim card, pay only local rates while over there.
I dont think you pay for incoming texts though.

Where would I get a local Sim card in Bansko ? Both our phones are sim free. Over Xmas it cost me over £100 for the 2 phones 50 - 50 nagging missus trying to get me out of the pub and 50 % incoming calls wishing me a merry Xmas.

Bastards !
