After much going backwards and forwards I think we have finally decided to buy 2 - sim cards from www.travelsim.net.au. We can buy sims that are iphone compatible and then just purchase credit. You can use it in over 190 countries, I've checked that it hits the countries we will be visiting in the next 2 years and it does.
I can't remember the exact rates for each country but they didn't seem unreasonable. Data is available also.
Another bonus is we will know that the phones are working correctly prior to leaving Australia.
The only hit is that if the sim isn't used within a 6 month period you lose your credit so will need to make sure to leave myself a note in my diary when I know we won't be using it for 6 months so I can pop it back in the phone and send a text or make a call quickly.
I think for the purposes we want to use the phones for - purely being able to contact each other when separated to arrange to meet back up, and to leave with family for emergencies, this will work well.
Well I hope so anyway hahaha
Sounds like a good choice for you, Shuttergirl It's a complicated decision when you're travelling to more than one country.
