On my last three holidays, i've returned home to find phone bills of around £180 instead of the usual £30 i'm used to. How would I go about getting a pay as you go sim in Las Americas? And is that the best way to be able to ring and send texts to my fam and friends back in the UK? Any help wil be greatly appreciated. Jamie

The caller only pays the normal UK to UK mobile rate __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
