Hi,
I live in France and plan on doing a thru hike this year. I'd like to buy a cell phone with email capabilities in order to make local telephone calls when necessary, send emails to family and update my journal along the way. I would like to buy prepaid cards to top up my account when necessary rather than getting a plan (which may be hard given that I don't live in the US). Could you please recommend what kind of phone I could get for such a prepaid option and how easy it would be to top up my credit along the way? Also, could you please let me know the names of stores which would sell such phones and prepaid options so I could check them out online?
Thanks in advance,
KV
