Hi All
We are based in Australia and going to north America in a few weeks for a month (Canada and USA ).
I have an android phone and Im looking for options to make and receive calls back to Australia.
Ie maybe skype or similar.

What are your thoughts on this ?
Any telcos with good data connections and pre-paid sims?

Regards,
Neil.

I think you can make free calls through a gmail account....otherwise you can use skype

Thanks
But I need a data connection, so Im looking for a local Telco.
Also, just to clarify this a bit, it is my 80 year old father doing this trip. I will personally be in Hawaii.
My father is a bit IT savy but he is 80.
So finding a Telco and getting the sim card installed and skype operating may be a challenge but unfortunatly a necessary challenge

Regards,
Neil.
