North America Phones!
Posted: Sat July 4, 2009 06:25 PM UTC
Hi!

Myself and 11 members of family and friends are coming to Orlando for 3-4 weeks in December. To avoid the cost of using our UK mobile numbers we were wondering if anyone can recommend a cheap phone that we can buy (obviously several of them!) including sim card. so that we can contact each other when out and about. We have the walkie talkies for the parks but I mean for when we are all doing different things. Does anyone know if we can purchase a sim card that will work in our UK mobiles?

You can buy a "Tracfone" at several different stores and then activate it from any telephone or on the internet. These are reconditioned or brand new cell phones and they sell cards for extra minutes. They come with 20 minutes when you activate it and you get your own phone number. They range in price from $10 to $30. Additional talk time is about $20 for 60 more minutes. I use them all the time. Look at http://www.tracfone.com

I use tracl phone for a second phone when traveling and find it easy and cheap. There are several companies that offer "pre-paid service". I would look at a discount retailer like Target or Walmart, they frequently have decent phones on pre-paid plans for about $20 each. T-Mobile uses sim-card phones in the US (most US phones you can not change the SIM card in.) You may be able to buy a pre-paid sim card from T-Mobile that will work in your UK phone.
