    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    I think technically the account is under my name- let me see what I can do to get this switched to my buddy- they will probably recognize their own numbers- but - I knew I was paying too much..

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    What’s that monthly- if I can ask. I’ve been with T-Mobile when they were Sprint. I’m clearly overpaying 2-lines..$160 with taxes monthly..

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    Ahh.. good info- I tried to go to my Phones settings (iPhone12) and it indicated no E-sim- I can't even remember where i looked on my phone..?-- I'll take a closer look at their Plans- do you remember roughly what the costs were to add the 15GB- I'm wondering if i'm just better going with...

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    Thank you— we can all learn— it’s €20 well spent. I’ve got t-Mobile- and I know theirs don’t do E-Sim.. I’ll turn in the International Plan— but have a local SIM card would/could be handy too…

    Waterproof Jacket

    Ohh— I can see that. Even getting “muggy/sweaty”— I’m happy with my Altus .. and a few layers— is perfect 👍

    Waterproof Jacket

    Absolutely great info-thank you. Yes— very helpful. The Altus is “thinner” that I thought…but that’s okay.. it’s meant to protect me from getting wet—and seems really good wind proof too. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I was just thinking.. how many layers I will need...

    I was going to suggest the Pilgrim house—-but that’s kinda more random - “luck of the draw…”

    Looking for a used ALTUS Poncho

    Ohh.. sorry for the confusion… I love mine—I’ll be using mine again… I like how it can be buttoned down in the back when not wearing a backpack… very useful.

    Looking for a used ALTUS Poncho

    You can buy on Trekkin website. I’m in the US- I paid 57 or 59$ max.. tgat included shipping from Spain. I ordered about 10-12 days ago. I got it in the mail today…. It’s great-/ perfect for my trip. I’ll be on my Camino in mid-October.

    Waterproof Jacket

    I got my Altus rain coat today in the mail It’s perfect- the length is perfect.. but I definitely need a jacket underneath— I’ll be looking at getting a jacket for warmth now 👍

    Waterproof Jacket

    Great ideas…. I got a “Dry bag” my Backpack is a 40l and I got a 45l dry bag… that I’m using essentially as a dry liner…. Lots of ppl were saying that Pack covers were basically worthless… so I went the Dry bag route. I’ve got some Foot glide for my feet. I’ve been waking/hiking at home in...

    Waterproof Jacket

    Great suggestion—- I can see that as being a good action plan. I got an update from USPS— my Altus is traveling the World without me… “it” just left TheNeatherlands 😂-should be delivered on Saturday 👍

    Waterproof Jacket

    Little Red Riding Hood— haha.. I can see that I’m gonna need to practice “THAT slinging the Altus on quick and over my head and Pack”👍😂

    Getting my gadgets in Spain

    Can I buy Trekking Poles in Santiago? It makes sense to buy them in Spjp I know ppl have mentioned Decathlon but I haven’t heard about on in Santiago? I’m trying to avoid the plane drama too. 🫶🏻
