SMS, that memory of yours is pretty impressive! Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised as there were 2 attractive chicks involved after all.

It took me a while to understand what you guys were talking about.

When talking about mobile phones and SMS, in UK it means short messaging service i.e. Text Messages.

Anyway, I am coming over and I have an unlock mobile handset. So I assume it is best to get a pre-paid pay as you go sim until I have my own place and settled down.

Where can I get one of these sim cards, and is it possible to choose my own number ??

Just pop in to one service providers shops and they will normally have a board showing the current available prepaid mobile numbers available. Just pick the one you want and present it at the counter along with your passport and mobile and they will set it up there and then for you.

you can get sim card just about everywhere. no difference to UK where you would get your sim card. you can choose a handful of sim card for a number you like but that depends on the store. some are better than others.

Could I buy a sim at the airport? That will help as I dont have a sense of direction, BUT can find my way to any bar and also can buy a round of drinks.....................Just in case Durain thought I was trying to get out of buying SMS and Saint the promised pint.

Bumping this thread.

Anyone tried having their Singtel prepaid number ported to Starhub prepaid? I'm actually just gonna consume my current credit until it gets low enough and through with it.

Oh yeah, if I'm told it's not possible (but I know it is, according to their websites), to whom can I complain?
