   I was just there last summer. The short answer is yes BUT you must check with your service provider to make sure you they offer it and your particular phone has the ability.

   you can ask your provider for roaming
   it will work in Greece
   but…
   you will be billed for incoming calls
   your calls will be charged more
   and you have to pay in advance some money be credit card
   the other solution is
   when you come to Greece
   bye a Sim card place it in your phone
   call family and friends give them the new number so they can call you
   it will be allot cheaper
   Sim cards cost 10 euros
   and you get 9 euros of calls for free
   hope you have a nice trip

   my cell phone does not allow me use in Greece….nor does my daughters and her husbands when they go, they have bought one over there to use when they go. Since I go every year I don’t know why I haven’t yet. Maybe this year I will
   My cell has international calling but our phones here don’t work on their systems there

   Make sure your phone is a tri-band GSM model and you’ll have no probs in Europopland. Even when sailing the Greek islands it wasn’t a problem finding a cell phone reception unless very far out.
   You will also need to talk to your cell phone company too – often they have international roaming / calls barred by default, so you will need to get that lifted in order to connect in Greece. Failing that, you can buy a local sim card in Greece for about $20 and use that in your phone.

   The best is to check with your telephone company if the roaming works in Greece. If not you can easily buy a SIM card in Greece and use it (provided your cell phone has also GSM)

   Hi, as others already mentioned, if you have a tri-band mobile phone you are fine – but need to check with your telecom provider regarding “roaming” coverage in Greece too and which Greek operator is maybe best for you to use regarding costs involved.

   If you have a tri-band cellular phone model, I think you will encounter no problems. It is better to ask about that your provider, who would know to tell you all about roaming in Europe.
   If there is no technical way you can do it or you have to pay much money, then you can buy a cellular phone with a card (starting from 30,00€) just for the sake of communication when you set foot on Europe.
   Here are the major providers of cellular telephony in Greece:
   http://www.cosmote.gr
   http://www.vodafone.gr
   http://www.tim.gr
   http://www.qtelecom.gr.
   They all possess a very helpful client service dept. which will give you all information you need.
   Enjoy your trip over to Europe!

   I am not absolutely sure, but i think you can use your phone here (Greece). You just have to buy a new SIM card. There are cheap companies and you can do that just for 15 Euro. So you just get a new number and friends can call you…
