A question about : Help please re mobile phone calls from USA to UK

Hello, my wife and I are travelling around the deep south of the USA for two weeks arriving in Atlanta. Can anyone please advise if it's cheaper to buy a sim card and use my own phone or to purchase a cheap phone with credit loaded to send texts and make calls to the UK?

Thanks and I look for forward to hearing from anyone who can help.

A question about : Family travel insurance with children who are 18

Looking for insurance companies who will provide family cover for 2 adults plus 2 children aged 18 and 15.

How safe is Flybe financially ? Is my money secure if I buy with creditcard.

Best answers:

• Job cuts, aircraft sell offs, profit warnings....it's not too healthy but it does have a restructuring plan.
  If your are spending Ј100 plus it is a good idea to use a credit card and get protection that way.
• Credit card.
  Or book your car hire / a hotel with them at the same time for a bit of ATOL protection.
