Today i'm going to travel to Germany Ulm city, how can i bring a mobile number?
Answers: I'm sorry, there's too little information in your interrogate. I suppose you'll bring your mobile with you, so if it supports European GSM 900/1800 standards (usually these phones are call "quadband" types) you will be able to use your own number, but will own to pay the elevated roaming fees. So if your mobile is not locked to a specific provider or SIM, go to a mobile shop and buy a German SIM. There are several providers and paying scheme; if you don't have a German sandbank account, prepaid would be the opportunity of choice. I'm at D2/Vodafone, their quality and gridiron coverage is excellent. D1/T-Mobile is also good, and their rates for call to the USA might even be lower, but I'm not sure.
Oh, one more entry: Once you have a German mobile phone number, at hand is no such thing as "airtime" here, so if you procure called from another country, it's "tourist pays all". But it only works near a German number, and within Germany.

(a)agc, you are right, U.S. single or even double band won't work here, and with tribands, here are restrictions. The only defensible thing is a quadband, but most modern phones are. My SonyEricsson T610 is very soon almost five years old, and it's a quadband. -- Don't verbs, however, you can buy used mobiles at resonable prices. I wouldn't recommend eBay, because you'll never know what you get (although I bought a conceivable phone there for with the sole purpose 40 euros). But it's better to ask at a store so you can test it and see if it works.
You call for to have a u.s. tri belt phone (if you have Mobile 1? the mover that is German that is to say in the U.S. you will enjoy less problem) so you can use your phone overseas. If you do you run to a telefon mobile store and you request a "chip" that would allow you to use your phone overseas. If you dont and just allow yourself to use your "roaming" fact on you phone, you could end up close to me and a few dozen others who would up with bills of $350 and up. IJust for a few weeks use. The u.s. mobile firms double their fees for relations who travel overseas! One guy had a $5k bill from use within London.. If your phone does not work you might have to buy one contained by which you load (like the Virgin phone here) by buying a mobile loading card. You can get them for 25 or 50 euros. Last but not lowest if you dont want to do that you can buy a telephone card which you can also wages for and you will stick in the phone and it will discount the amt you use from your credits.
