Getting ready for the trip to Wels, Austria, to see the premiere of Ich Pilatus on 11 December, I decided that Cingular's overseas roaming rates were just too much, and that it was time to get my cell phone's SIM card unlocked so that I could buy a German or Austrian one. Despite what I read online, it was relatively easy to speak with a customer care rep at Cingular, and though she couldn't find the NCK in their database, she got it to me later that day in email after getting it from Ericsson. Now, it all begins: choosing a plan. It's just like choosing all over again, and this time the websites are mostly in German. Sites like this one were full of cool sequences of buttons to press to get at those hidden service menus. More fun than entering new ringtones.
