UK has also had one of its worst Summers ever! Its hasn't stopped raining for a month now!

45 degrees sounds positively heavenly, so long as there's no rain.

I've got your ID right here; just you wait.

(And ID? Really? Really really? How American of you ! )


As for those suffering the rain abroad, I do feel for you. At least I don't have it cold and wet (like jet.com!).

wondering if anyone here can help me out with some sim card info for belgium & the netherlands....

during my regular trips to the hague & brussels, i have never stayed for more than a day or two....plus, all these trips have been work related so i have never bothered getting a local sim there....next month i will be there for a personal trip & for a period of 12 days....so i need to get a sim for both places....i was looking for a sim that i can use with my iphone (unlocked)....what is most important to me is data use....i don't care what the calls & sms cost since i will rarely use that....but i will require data usage all the time....

i would prefer to get a different sim for both amsterdam & brussels since i don't want to deal with roaming charges....does anyone here know which sim to get????

i recommend t-mobile for the NL

any idea what their data rates are????

My understanding is that it is 79.50 Euros for 2 GB of high speed internet followed by unlimited slower internet.

wow....€79.50 is way too much....i think i'll pass....

That's just silly. BTW if anyone comes to the UK contact me and I can send you a sim card that gives you 200 mins and unlimited 3G data for £10 a month.

While we are on the topic, what's the best sim for India, like Keyser it'll be mostly Data for 2 weeks?

airtel or vodafone are probably your best bets....more info here:

Thanks!

If you ever come up to YVR I can get a plan with unlimited Canada/US calling + unlimited data for $45/month on a carrier that has the letter R in it.

How about texts? Which carrier is this? And is it available if you move to the US?

any other suggestions for the netherlands, beside t-mobile since their data plans seem to be too expensive????

also, any suggestions for belgium????

do you need this for the iphone/smartphone or for blackberry? Vodafone seems to have good plans. I'm always roaming when in BRU/AMS/RTM so I usually latch on to Voda or KPN.

Check this, good BB rates at @ Euro 12.5: http://www.vodafone.nl/english/prepaid/blox/
