    Just buy a sim once she's in the country. Thats what my brother generally does (he did in NZ) then ditch the sim when travel is over. Usually works out cheaper. I'm sure she can pass on her temporary new number to important people.

    Evening

    how is your Bro., Westie ? all good ? xxxx

    Thanks westie for confirming that was sort of the info I was getting while googling. But I also saw some prepaid things you could buy from companies I didn't recognise.

    I think she was hoping to have something sorted more or less as soon as she arrives as the next afternoon she has had to book something she needs a certificate for as she can't seem to arrange it over here. She is worried she might get lost on the way and wants some internet to find directions. Think she will have to go back to old fashioned maps. :rotfl:

    If it is for getting around like that, has she got a SatNav she can download Canadian maps onto?

    Might be worth double checking but I think they are 2 for £5 in Iceland....so great to use up giftcards.

    Yes I know Iceland isn't mentioned on website but curly has used one:D

    Yeah, but that's not always simple......

    Overheard a conversation in the YHA in Christchurch......woman was going to buy a vehicle off a couple, had it booked into a garage for a once over......end result was no sale. All depends if you know what you are doing and can be prepared to wait around and/ or a load of hassle. Ditching is probably easier.

    Our ex Scotland neighbours who rolled up beside us, had a Mercedes van shipped out in a container costing 3k as they were going to be in NZ for 3 months, he did his research the van will sell easily.

    Horses for courses.....
    Very true, this young friend had worked out that it was cheaper to buy and ditch if needed than to rent.

    Good Morning all :)

    Had a quick look round the first bootsale round here and bought a purple kipling bag , quite a good size for ...... wait for it £5. Chap said it cost £90 and I believe him.
