Have you tried Nisiko? The lifts are crappy, but the powder is out of this world. I met guys there who came all the way from the USA and they have great powder in Colorado. Maybe you should try Colorado first. or Canada.Quote:

The way I see it, if I am going overseas, I would remove my sim card, and then just buy some pre-paid plan where I am travelling.
My current plan has no internet, so I just log onto my home A/C. When out, I just use my phone as a phone to locate my wife when shopping.
Yeah! the Sacred Heart Op Shop in South Melbourne is selling them for $2 each.Quote:

the funny thing is that I have to pay for roaming for using the orange network in another country even if I have a contract with them in my own... common market my @$$
First Post on the damn Android phone, it's still not as good as ny old nokia, but i think it's a work in progress. The virtual keyboard feels stupid and navigation is not,possible offline.
That’s good to know. When on holiday in Mexico recently I disabled the data-roaming option on my i5. My next monthly statement will confirm that it actually work :mark: .Quote:

There were times when this thread was like this wedding.... :p

Now you guys are going to laugh at this. When I applied to activate the sim, my application was flagged. I had to provide proof of identity, which meant I had to scan my drivers licence, Medicare card and old Optus bill and send this to Aldi. My Printer/scanner is in storage. :( Anyway, I finally got a friend to scan these documents and sent it off. BUT when I installed the Aldi sim card, I got no reception. I phoned Aldi's provider (45minutes on hold) then Optus (15 minutes on hold) to no avail. Went to an Optus shop and 3 sales persons checked my sim card in the phone which they said was OK.
I went home, and decided to check the sim again, saw a small diagram inside my phone showing how the sim is supposed to be inserted and realised that I had the sim inserted back to front. :p : DUH!!!!!!!!!!
Now I find that not only does my phone work inside the apartment building, but I am on Telstra's 3G network, and can even get two bars on my phone inside the lift. Oh! Happy days!! :)
I paid $40 which included the sim card and the recharge is $35 per month. Quite reasonable. Now I have to work out how to download the AFL's footy app so I can watch games live on my mobile. :)
