GSM Phones Belgium
Are you travelling to Belgium and want reliable cell phone access? RoamSimple has its own SIM Card for Belgium , UK SIM Card, France SIM Card, Italy Sim Card, Germany SIM Card and they're all the same. All these countries are included in our European SIM Card.
Your own cell phone will likely not work in Belgium because they use different cellular networks and have cellular access services specific to Belgium. Your CDMA based cell phone is not a good option. You can choose a GSM Cell phone rental, but you'll be locked into a contract and be liable for the GSM phone itself. GSM cell phone rentals are costly, and often costs more than buying a GSM phone which you can use again and again in any country you're travelling. A prepaid GSM sim card is troublesome since you have to call a number and wait for a call back.
To enjoy carefree cell phone usage in Australia, you'll need an GSM cell phone and a SIM card. The SIM card allows you to identify yourself to the cell network in that country, stores your numbers, allows others to call you at a specific number, and allows you to buy and store minutes. With RoamSimple's SIM Cards, you'll enjoy these benefits and you won't run out of minutes in some remote location. More minutes can be charged to your credit card.
To make international cell phone calls in Australia you will need an unlocked GSM cell phone. Sometimes called world phones, global phones, GSM SIM phones, mobile phones or travel phones, GSM unlocked phones operate on 4 frequency ranges but most commonly on 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz frequencies. GSM SIM Cell phones are a major improvement on older CDMA technology which had many limitations. A proprietary locked GSM phone service from Virgin Mobile while visiting the UK isn't the bargain you'd expect. These proprietary services may not have good services and their minute prices may be much higher. You may get trapped in a proprietary GSM cell phone agreement and stuck with that providers branded cell phones.

The Global System for Mobile Communications as it is called is the most common cell phone transmission signal standard Internationally. It is used by more than 2 billion people worldwide and that number will only grow as communications systems are improved in Asia, India, and South America. GSM allows advanced signals that enable data communication and high quality voice clarity.
GSM phones are very similar to your current cell phone with the exception of a sim card slot. This slot is where the separate SIM card is inserted. The card comes printed on a credit card sized card. The SIM Card is detached from the card and inserted into the phone. This small SIM card has printed circuitry that contains the information needed for the phone to communicate with the GSM phone service in that country. It's ingenius, and actually activates the phone service and identifies you as a subscriber on the Belgium network. The phone searches for cells in the vicinity which may be of 4 different frequencies. When it finds a cell, it requests a connection using the information in the GSM SIM card -- the IMSI data. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card) contains account information about the service and subscriber (the IMSI data). The individual operator networks in a country can identify the card as legitimate with the use of this International Mobile Subscriber Identity code. Mobile operators connect mobile phone calls and communicate with their market SIM cards using this IMSI data contained in the card.
Some providers such as RoamSimple, offer GSM Phone SIM Card packages that give you an all in one solution. That's very convenient since you'll know the GSM phone and SIM card are compatible and will work in the particular country or region you're travelling to. Some new GSM phones may even have GPS navigation capabilities. Get your UK GSM phone sim card package here.
Unlocked GSM Phones
Major brands such as Motorola gsm phones, Nokia gsm phones, NEC gsm phones, Audiovox gsm phones, Sony Ericsson gsm phones, Samsung gsm phones, Panasonic gsm phones, LG gsm phones, Palm GSM phones, and Blackberry gsm phones. These brand name products are often used exclusively by the major cell service providers such as Orange, O2, Virgin Mobile, Nextel, Bell, Rogers, and Cingular, yet the services are often restricted to a particular type of phone. The GSM phone or the SIM card may be "locked" and can't be used with another carrier. These restrictions can be very annoying, and there may be requirements for further payments to the service provider if the customer wishes to unlock the phone. A smarter choice for consumers are unlocked GSM phones which allow choice as to which SIM card carrier service they would like to go with, thus to access better service in that particular country or to enjoy better international GSM roaming rates.
