I know I shouldn't say anything considering I'm on a travel forum but gosh I didn't realise there was such intense discussion about mobile phone deals.
If you're not too fussy, the need for quad may not be needed.
I thought if I'm buying a new phone over there when I don't really need one, I might as well get one I can also use back home too.
their rates have always looked outrageous to me.
Good to hear someone else thought so too. I thought the prices seemed high but I couldn't be sure (retail prices etc in the US).
Thanks for your help roberto99
