Thanks - does that give me a regular US cell number?
Essentially I am going to divert my office phones to it - as it will be a lot cheaper than taking my calls on a Uk mobile phone - I would have to pay around $2+ a minute to accept incoming calls - hence the need for a US cell phone.
I can bring an unlocked phone, so even a sim will do.
However my fear is that the phone company may require a US address.
Ian, surprisingly, the U.S. has not got on board with sim cards. They're starting to, but a long way to go I'm afraid. I believe that a Tracfone will be usable immediately, and others can call you on it. Not sure about international calls though.
LOL at sirdude - about the beard.
