Mobile Phones in SEA
Hi!
I am travelling around SEA for 6 months in Jan of 2011 with my girlfriend and was wondering what mobile phone reception is like in the various countries I am visiting,
I am travelling to:
Thailand
Cambodia
Vietnam
Laos
Malaysia
Indonesia
Philippines
I assume reception is ok for all the major cities, but is the any at all in the more rural regions?
Also is it worth getting a phone card for international calls to the UK or are mobile rates ok ish?
are there many pay phones to use?
Thanks!South East Asia Travel
