Overview

Tunisia you can buy a prepaid GSM card called "Carta +" by Tunisian Operator Tunisiana in one of many mobile phone stores with the "Tunisiana" sign for about 5€.
Their network ist 2g only (as of spring 08) but they have good edge coverage, especially in the areas frequented by tourist.
To activate the card you have to make a (free) inital call to 1222.
Then you also have to ensurethat the internet mobile service is activated on your sim card (on mine it wasn't by default), either by asking directly in the store when you buy the card, or (if they don't know what you are talking about, which was the case for me :) ) by calling the free Hotline 1111. There will be someone who speaks some english if you ask.

To check your balance enter *100# (send).
