Strike my last question!  Just spoke to a guy at orange & they're going to put a 6 month freeze on my phone.  Will just take my handset & get a greek sim 

My friend in dubai has her uk number linked with her dubai number.  I think i'll do that.  Going to get my phone unblocked so i can put a greek sim in.  I don't want to lose my 'whatsapp'.  I love it cus it lets me send voice messages, photos, videos & texts free to my friends that have the same app.  Definitely going to get a greek sim. Having a uk sim u have to pay to even receive texts & phone calls costs a fortune!  Can't believe i'm leaving 2 weeks mon!  Have to do 12 hour shifts on the sat & sun before i go.  It's going to be a killer, but will be worth it for the money.  My suitcases weigh a ton!  Gonna sling them & use a big wheeled sports bag type thing & have some stuff sent over.  I'm worrying about the weight cus i won't be flying thomson as i'm flying out of season.  It'll be like the magical mystery tour cus i'll be flying into athens first, then somewhere else ........ Can't bloody wait!!!  

If u don't get charged ur really lucky.  I'm just going by my experiences.  All my family & friends get charged for receiving texts & calls from uk when they're abroad as well.  Maybe u'v got a really good package.  I'm getting really excited! Just had my call from resort & found out about my accomm, etc. I'll be staying in falaraki.  Just waiting to find out my flight details, but know i'll be flying from heathrow 

I'm glad u said that bout falaraki Leon! I'v never been there & have heard different opinions on it. Yeah, the woman who called was lovely & really helpful. I'm staying in a studio apartment on the main falaraki road. Seemingly tui have contracted a block of apartments & it will be a mixture of reps & admin in the block. Just had the e-mail. I fly out from heathrow on the morning of the 13th
