Hello guys, I am at my first base in the UK, first time ever leaving the US.
Quickly found out my Verizon prepaid phone doesn't work. So I need a new phone. The internet service on base is real slow, often crowded. It would be nice to get one that lets me tether for internet.
Started to buy an Iphone but apple.com says the price is £440.40 for a 16gb 3GS. Then it said it cant ship to a PO box so I am screwed there twice. Since £440.40 converts to about $875! I also hear the 02 phone service sucks. I heard it is expensive as heck per month but they do have some real flexible plans.
So, I want to be able to call back to the states real cheap, get internet but not pay nearly $1000 for a phone + huge monthly fees. This is my first phone too, so I have no credit. Should I buy one from the states, send it here, jail break it so I can use vonaphone (sp?) instead of 02?
