Cell Phone Rental

Will be traveling from the states and was looking to rent cell phones for our group. To be used just in Estonia, mainly Tallinn. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I suggest to contact some reseller who sells used telephone and just propose a deal. Renting cell phones is not very popular here as phones are cheap and most people has phones with them..

You can look this site and contacts them in example: http://www.mobiilid.ee/

They buy, sell, change etc. - probably they have no problem with renting...

Check the page for used phones,

www.mobiilid.ee/index.php…

Phones start from 300 EEK ($27 USD)

You can buy a pay as you go SIM for 50 EEK with time for that amount. There is no long distance in Estonia using Simpel and local calling is cheap.

Hi

We always take two unlocked phones and buy a Sim card with call time pre-loaded for them when we get to Tallinn. I think the Sim costs about 50 EEK and we can send texts home to England for less than 5p each, as well as being able to call each other.

Phones from the USA are different but as it is possible to use some European phones there it should be possible to use some American ones in Europe with a local sim. Ask your cell provider, they should know and make sure the phones are unlocked.

North American phones should be unlocked quadband phones. Triband may work but we found it did not in places outside of Tallinn.

Hi I researched the topic and found that there is no company that offers that service in Estonia so it seems that the volumes of US travellers in Estonia are not enough to make this business viable. I suggest you rent it from the US for example http://www.cellhire.com/about or http://www.rent-mobile-phone.com

Thanks all - that cellhire web site seemed the easiest. Would cost about $60 a phone for 10 days(including shipping time) including shipping, activation, rent. Incoming .45/min outgoing .99/min.

But I think we%26#39;ll wait %26#39;till we get there and go to the local place and see what they can do.

Thanks again -
