Tell him to use a GSM phone and a pre-paid SIM card for Scotland and France. If this is for company business, tell your company to get their act together and have a GSM phone for this purpose.

I just looked into this and found it would be cheaper to buy a used phone on ebay then to rent one. As a
plus you cna just resell the phone when you get back. The sat phone used prepaid sim cards also. In the end I went with prepaid calling cards. Much easyer and much cheaper. NoKarma |

Why a sat phone? cellular coverage for France and Scotland is probably total or close to it.

Sure is! My Nokia Cell Phone has 'GSM Global Roaming' and I get total coverage throughout the UK (Scotland) and all mainland Europe… My son uses his UK GSM cell phone when he's in the States without any trouble. Linky… www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/index.shtml ANdy |

If you have a triband phone see if your provider will unlock the phone. You can get simcards for the european county's you will need before you go over if the phone is unlocked.
