[FRS / PMR]

Yes, I have the info now, we have diff frqs in N Amer. I did talk to a guy
who used them between two cars driving through Norway, and I'm guessing
they didn't interfere with anyone so no trouble.

Noi risk - No fun ;-)

We'll check into PMR when we get there.

Good idea, especially when you want to use them other than to talk
between 2 cars whilst driving.

Cell phone looks prohibitively expensive to take the local
cell phone over (it will work over there). I can roam through Canada and
most of the USA as if local with no additional charges but not over there.

Using a lokal prepaid card might do the trick. And in case of emergancy
you can call for help.
Also phoneing on prepaid cards isn't really cheap. Using the same
provider it is about 30 (EURO-)Cent per minute with 60/1. First minute
is allways charged fully.... :-(

This will allow me to avoid women's clothing stores etc.

This will justify any amount of charge :-)))
