Re: E FOY Fuel Cell Generator

For me the whole thing is about convenience.

These units cost about £3,500 here in the uk, less than half the price I have been quoted for having a genset fitted. Equally, I am not convinced that...

Re: Greek 'Pay as You Go' Data sim card

Are you using an unlocked mifi device? I was told there is no way to unlock the sim on the Cosmote device and I needed an unlocked mobile phone to do it.

From July of next year (or thereabouts) roaming in Europe will be abolished and costs will be the same as for use in your home (european) country.
