Using a "Hop" sim for three different networks
I have an unlocked Motorola v400 which is a quad band phone. I will be traveling to Ghana, Mali and Burkina Faso in two weeks..
I purchased a "Hop" sim for my phone which is supposed to be good in all three countries.
The sim card has a Monaco telephone number.

Actually my Motorola and Nokia manuals recommend that all numbers be stored “internationally aware” So, my numbers numbers are stored as +3125551212, UK +4477788999, et...

Thank you 😁 You are a wealth of information.
I will be picking up my prepaid card tomorrow, and I am adding the international dialing prefix to the numbers because it is a good idea to have it there.
