Like Catweazle, I am also not up-to-date on using cell phones/sim cards in Europe. I ordered an unlocked Nokia 6300 using my points on Club Bing. Hope it gets here before I leave. We're going to Austria in April and my husband needs to keep in touch with the office. This phone is (according to the Nokia website) messaging capable. Does anyone know if it's possible to get sim cards that have more money/time/data on them so that any unused portion of what's on the sim, he can give it to his sister who lives in Austria when he leaves. We're not going to any other countries.

Also, do I just get the sim card, stick it in the phone and it's ready to go?
