Mobile phone for the travelling Birder

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear B-A,

For those who are not aware of them, I would like to draw attention to  
the new, low cost dual SIM card mobile phones. They are great for OS  
travel. You can have your normal SIM in them, so that you are  
contactable on your ordinary number while on the move and you can pick  
up a SIM from a local provider and slip it into the phone with your  
Australian SIM. The savings are considerable. For example, I am going  
to Malaysia soon, so I will pick up a SIM when I arrive. For me to  
call back to Australia on my normal providers SIM is AUD 3.00 per  
minute, while using a Malaysian provider will cost around AUD 0.30 per  
min. I have found that most, if not all Asian service providers have  
similar rates. There is one problem with these phones, though. They do  
not seem to handle going through a washing machine whilst turned on.
Cheers,

Carl Clifford
