Hi, im being serious - for a slight change me and mrs c are heading over to wdw in sept - now we all know that operators basically crap on you from a big height price wise... so whats the best pay as you go service provider in the states?

Its really incase i loose mrs cmatt.... :drevil:

How long will youi be at WDW? I would suggest calling your service provider and telling them you are going to be travelling overseas and tell them you need your phone unlocked. They will email you instructions on how to unlock your phone. Once unlocked, you can now insert any SIM card into you phone and it should work. I would call Cingular first to see if they have a short term pay as you go (warning it's not as cheap as it sounds) and find out how and where you need to go to activate your phone.

Will you be calling the Mrs on vacation that much that you would invest in a pay as you go plan for the length of your vacation? I would call you phone provider over there and inquire about the cost of phone calls made from your phone in the US. Depending on the number of times you anticipate calling each other, it may be best to just use your phone. I would look into both options! Hope this helps!

Virgin mobile has a good pre-pay service.
virgin mobile is like 7$ for a month then .10 a min all the time no contract or anything like that. They have other options too. It uses the sprint network and thats what I have and it works great at disney.
If you are going to be calling back over seas you will need to get an international calling card that you dial into. I dont think virgin mobile lets you call international.
