I appreciate this topic has been covered before, but in the fast paced world of modern technology,I was wondering if someone could help with a query.
I'm due to go to Vegas and San Francisco in April (33 big sleeps to go!) and was thinking about purchasing a No Contract Mobile Phone. Is there a network that can be recommended that will also allow me to use the phone in New York whenI make my annual pilgrimage there, and what are the rules regarding top up? I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you don't keep the phone topped up youlose the number or sim card? If this is so, is it eay to buy a sim card when I return? I only want the phone for emergencies, and with a the cheapest phone only $20 from Best Buy - not everyone's favourite store, I know!- (the first UK store opens very soon inthe UK!) it just seems a cheaper option than using a UK phone and paying international rates to make calls and send sms messages.
Many thanks ES

If you only want it to use in the U.S., go to Radio Shack and get a "Go-Phone" program from AT&T. My phone was around $20, and I only pay when I use the phone. It costs $1 a day plus .10 a minute. I put $25 on at a time, and it lasts for three months. It's a much better deal than anything the other carriers have. But it doesn't work internationally.
