My daughter is visiting South Africa for 2 months. Can anyone advise me what is the cheapest way to stay in touch with her? Do the 'free' 07744 access numbers work - we are both on Vodafone contracton Vodafone contract.
She can purchase a local sim out there, but has a Samsung D600 handset on Vodafone - can this be unlocked to take the local sim?
