Going abroad - phone help please.

Anonymous

Hi, i'm hoping someone can help me with what may appear to be a very simple query.

I am due to go abroad for christmas/ new years on friday. I'm on a pay-monthly contract, with 500MB of data, and 600 minutes on calls. I want to be able to call home if possible and occasionally (tho probably rarely) use the internet on my phone, for the usual tweet etc.

 

I've never had a phone with the net on before that i've taken aborad. But I don't want to leave it at home either. I need help with the following:

 

- what are the implications of using my phone abroad? 

- do i need to upgrade any bolt-ons i have to be able to use it?

- are there any numbers i need to enable me to use my free minutes instead of being charged a crazy price when i'm back?

- is there anything i need to switch off the phone so i'm not adding up costs?

 

I am going to the US/Caribbean and I've got a feeling thats whats going to catch me out. I've looked on the website and it appears europe is pretty much covered, but not international clearly.

 

If someone can tell me in parot fashion if i need to change anything i'd be really greatful. As time is running out & i've left this to the last minute.

 

Thankyou.

Rachel
