Mobile phone simcard in Cyprus

Hi guys, getting posted to Cyprus for 3 months in a couple of weeks,
I'm on a Vodafone contract here in the uk and was wondering
What's the best and cheapest option for when I get out there.

Vodafone passport with traveller from Vodafone uk or buy a simcard
From Cyprus?

I'll be needing it for texts mostly and also for Internet.
Will my phone need to be unlocked if I use a Cyprus Vodafone simcard?
Many thanks

    Look here.. Do it now, as it can take a couple of weeks.
    Then you can use the phone with local SIMs from most countries.

    Hi,

    Just purchase a Cyta-Voda simcard from the Naffi (ERMES) when your there. Its about €10-€15 for the sim with €5 credit, which it will last for ages.

    Facebook/Internet, plenty of places have free Wifi so you will be okay.
