Cell Phone News and Reviews

Free phones not horrible anymore

It used to be that if you got a free phone from your cell phone carrier, that it was some cheap, cruddy basic phone that didn't even have data capability. Now most providers are offering some pretty nice phones including several Android options and the iPhone 4 for free.

Europe phone options inactivated Verizon Blackberry

Have several questions. My wife and I are planning a 3 week trip to the UK and Italy this summer. We have two Blackberry inactivated Verizon phones ( 8830 and Storm 9530) I think I want to purchase a pay as you go SIM card for each. SIM cards are listed from $1.00 to $30.00 on eBay.
1. What's the difference between the various SIM card offerings?
2. Do I need to unlock the Verizon Blackberry's? Do I call Verizon? I assume they won't want to help me?
3. I assume I provide credit card number to sim mobile provider to pay for minutes used?
4. Are there European mobile providers to stay away from?
5. Is there any way to test SIM card while still in the US?
6. I'll be doing mostly cell to cell calls between my two Blackberry's. is there a sim provider that is best for this?
7. What have I missed?

I'd appreciate answers to any or all of my questions. Thanks, Don
