If my recollection is correct, you bought a special phone for touring. I am sure you know that the frequencies in Europe can be different than North America, just a reminder to check to see if your phone will work or not.
My phone will not work with UK frequencies, I was considering buying a cheap Android phone with UK frequencies when I was thinking of doing LEJOG. My previous foreign trips, I relied on wifi for my phone, but would like to get weather forecasts anytime I want.
