Sim Cards: The more you know.... ^_^]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/european-commission-wants-greater-transparency-in-roaming/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/european-commission-wants-greater-transparency-in-roaming/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/european-commission-wants-greater-transparency-in-roaming/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/european-commission-wants-greater-transparency-in-roaming/Sometimes for a little extra you can buy a prepaid kit which includes the SIM card and a cheap handset, this is usually very good value. Be careful tho, these handsets will only work with its supplied SIM card.

In most countries you will have to show an ID (passport) to buy.

Another way to research prepaid prices and deals is to look up the GSM operator of the country you visit on the internet.
