You can't use ready to go mobiles in the Czech Republic. You can use Pay Monthly phones though.

Yeah they're crap. Not only that, but you have to get some kind of credit card mandate with them (???).

I encountered this the day before I went to England for a few days and was pretty disappointed that I couldn't even receive or send texts over there without paying 60 quid and getting this credit card mandate first.
So I'm switching over to Vodafone as soon as they sort out their reception in my area (we've got people running all over the house trying to get a signal except me and my sister on 085 and 086 atm).

The scabbiness of it is shocking. A friend of mine in the states gets something like 500 free minutes of talktime a month... at the rate mobile phone calls cost here, I use less than 20 minutes a month cos it's so bloody dear.
