Yooopi! is our incredibly cheap "Handy" company. In layman's terms, a Handy is a cell phone. To get set up with Yooopi! (yes, the exclamation point is part of the name), we had to buy a 5 EUR SIM card. That's all. 5 EUR and then we have Yooopi! and a few minutes of free call time. To call the U.S. it's 3 or 4 cents a minute. To call Austria, it's 5 cents a minute. Yooopi! to Yooopi! is supposedly free. And if you add minutes ("guthaben") on a Friday, you get 100 free weekend minutes. What could be better? I love Yooopi! Perhaps it's a little weird that none of the Austrians we've talked to have heard of Yooopi! but it seems to work fine for us.
Yesss! Yesss! Say it with me, it's so much fun. Yesss!
Yesss! is our not-so-incredibly, but still quite cheap internet company. We each bought sticks that allow us to access the internet anywhere in Austria. It's another pay as you go deal. I love Yesss! (and yes, the exclamation point is also part of the name).
