Tri-band Cell Phone Arrives
Waiting for us on our doorstep when we came home this evening (glad we live in a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood) was the first of two unlocked, international cellular ’phones I plan to order. This one, a Motorola v180, I ordered from Telestial (a site recommended in an article on The Travel Insider). It apparently arrived well on time and due to my sad miscalculation of our travel schedule, it landed on our doorstep a few hours after we took off for Washington D.C. This ’phone is a three band (900/1800/1900) model which should give us full coverage in Europe and most urban areas in the U.S. The recharger included is a European plug type with a U.S. adapter. It purports to be able to take in anything from 60Hz/110V to 50Hz/220V. We’ll see as I just plugged it into an outlet in our house to top off the battery. Ultimately, this will be the spouse’s handset but I’ll take it with me on my house hunting expedition to try it out.
