> American Traveling in Europe with T68i????
Bookmark topic
So I'm on TMobile right now with my T68i and I'll be traveling in Europe this summer (Greece, Italy, England, Austria, Czech, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland).
What, if anything, do I need to do/can I do to use my T68i over there for email and the occasional phone call? How much wil it cost?

You will need to enable roaming by contacting your service provider. Check with your Service provider as to which countries they support and they will also be able to tell you the costs.
Regards,
Phil.

So far I know T-Mobile is in the Countries: England, Austria and the Netherlands (cos I live over there in the Netherlands) and of course you can call with it and I also think you can email with it but that I don't know for sure!

You should be able to use it in all the countries listed. Look at:

Make sure you call them to get international roaming activated.

T mobile also has a german network and have roaming partners all over. I think email settings work as well. I'm on t mobile netherlands and they worked in USA as well. Check with t mobile before you go!

I highly recommend that you get your phone unlocked for free by T-Mobile by emailing them @
simunlock@t-mobile.com with:
IMEI
Phone #
Name
Acct # (printed on your bill)
Int'l roaming on T-Mobile is a bit pricy so if I were going to Europe I'd plan on buying a pre-paid sim while you're there. Even if you don't plan on using a pre-paid sim, once you're there if your phone isn't unlocked you won't be able to if you change your mind.

If you have international roaming enabled, then you will definitely be able to use your phone in Germany (and in most countries in Western Europe). T-Mobile is, after all, the mobile arm of Deutsche Telekom which has its headquarters, but where else, in Germany!

Remember when roaming that you pay through the nose for any calls received.
Take the advice given earlier. Get it unlocked and then buy a "local" SIm card and you will then receive calls free.

OK, So its already unlocked. These local SIMs...is there any particular place to buy them? Do I have to get them there or can I get them before I leave?
Thanks...
