Taking your Vodafone cellphone on the trip

It is easy to take your Vodaphone cellphone overseas. You can use it in Thailand and Cambodia.

If you are on a plan, simply call Vodaphone on 777. Press 2 for "Products and Services", then Press 1 for "Taking your mobile overseas".

If you have a prepay, you have to go into a Vodaphone store, fill in a form, (you will need photo ID and a credit card) pay $10 and you're set.

When you arrive in Thailand or Cambodia you simply select an available network and away you go. Details of how to select a network will vary from phone to phone but for my ‘Nokia’ I go > Menu > Settings > phone settings >network selection, then choose from available networks.

Call costs are roughly
Thailand: Incoming from or international to NZ $3/min, Texts $0.80
Cambodia: Incoming from or international to NZ $6/min, Texts $0.60
Obviously you will not want to be receiving too many calls from friends at home but it is great if you need to be contactable while you are away.
