Like ZollyMonsta, I'm buying from the online store outright. It's my first ever cell phone. I've had an ipod Touch until now, love it and use it daily for work and play but wanted a phone to communicate with Hubby occasionally and don't want to carry two devices.
My question is, how do I decide which sim card and what company to go with? ie. Vodafone, telecom, 2 degrees?? Does coverage vary? I'm in the Eastern Bay.
What I want is to be able to make calls once in a while, text once in a while (not sure if hubby will take to that or not so it may be a very short experiment) and in emergencies to be able to look at a google map on the road as I'm going on a trip in a few months where I may need to. Maybe even drop a few emails to the hubby while I'm away. I remember something about a dollar a megabyte somehow... I definitely do not want a plan!
So you can see my needs are not heavy as I mainly use wifi at home and work, rarely phone and primarily use the ipod I already have for apps, books and audio books and expect to use the phone mostly the same way. Plus hopefully it will also replace the need for a digital camera for this same upcoming trip.
Any advice how to choose companies/sims?
It may seem like a simple question to you but I'm very telephone challenged!
I do know it needs a micro sim.
