Cell Phone

[Trad]

One of my travel parteners will be bringing her 'BlackBerry Bold' and wants to know if it will work there and what apps should she get?
I think she is mainly interested in texting back to Canada (that what she seems to be doing most of the time here... ) and having a map on hand.
Any cost saving ideas?
Thanks.

get a dutch perpaid vodafone sim. I do the same. Internet flat is included! I think the blackberry is G3 and fits the european standard.

I'll write that down and give it to her....I have no idea what it means....
Thanks Colina...see you in April....

The phone will work, but she has to get a prepayed dutch vodafone sim card.
The sim card is 9,95Euros I think. You have to add the internet "bloX" for additional 9,95Euros.
Then she has mobile internet. With the mobile internet she can use facebook, twitter or any other chat/texting platform.
