Ms FSM, You shouldn't have any problems if you just switch it on when you get off the plane and this is the most conveniant thing to do, WE DIDN'T

Costs about 5 lev plus calls, ours were 20 lev with 15 lev credit, this lasted for a couple of calls plus a few text to each other plus loads of texts to uk, getting on for 10 per day each. Fantastic value in our books
We bought them in Jan, still have some credit left so only need to top up in March when we get back
Have a great time
