    Question about phoning/texting to and from Australia-advice please.

    HI, I'm leaving in a week ...:-o ... and have decided to take an mobile phone from home, but need to check whether it's unlocked. If it isn't, I think that means I can't use it in Spain, or can I get something from Telstra so I can use it in Spain? (Sorry, I am way out of my depth here.)...

    Advice please on ATM cards for France & Spain
