Advice required using a Mobile in Malia-Crete

Hi,

My partners daughter is going to work in Malia/Crete (Greece) while on her summer break from University.

Can anybody advice on the best way to use a mobile while there. She will mainly be communicating back to UK using text, only making calls if there is an emergency.

What's best:

Keep her current contract (Up for renewal in July)
Change to one of the pay monthly Sim cards
Obtain a Sim card local once in Malia
Obtain a Global Sim card

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Robert :confused:

    You don't say what network she is on, so impossible to make comparisons.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    o2 are a good choice, as on their contracts any texts used abroad count as 4 from your allowance

    The Orange website will give you the relevant prices for text/calls from Greece (depending on whether it is contract or PAYG).
