Portable Operating System Interface - I'm going to a conference in Geneva in July, and it'd be nice to have aphone. What's the best way to do it?I have a Cingular tri-band phone, with one of the band being GSM.Cingular says they have roaming agreements with most of the GSM carriersin Europe, so if I put my GSM SIM card into a phone that works on Eurofrequencies, it'll work there, albeit at rather high roaming rates.Cingular will sell me a Nokia 3100 "world" phone that works on GSM 1800,but 360 days out of the year I'm in North America where my current phoneis just what I want and fits the car kit in my truck.Can I easily rent a phone when I get there, either an empty one into whichI plug my SIM card, or one with its own card and a number I can use? Orshould I rent one here before I go? Or something else?Regards,John Levine, johnl@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies",Information Superhighwayman wanna-be, http://iecc.com/johnl, Mayor"I dropped the toothpaste", said Tom, crestfallenly.
