Hey all,
Planning a trip to Lebanon in a couple of weeks and needed to ask you a few questions.
My cellphone is currently locked and I don't plan on unlocking it. So I will have to either buy an unlocked gsm phone here before I go or buy one in Lebanon. My first question is, how much do extremely basic phones cost in lebanon, just the hardware not the line? Can I get something for, say, $25 or am I looking for something in the $100-200 range?
Second question is, I might be able to get a temporary unlocked smartphone to take with me. I know you can buy temp lines in Lebanon but what I don't know is, is it possible to add internet access to these somehow? I know 3G is out of the question, but Edge/WAP or whatever, do you think these would have them? And is what's available good enough for things like foursquare and twitter?
Thanks,
Practo
