Phone - talking sim or data sim?

I am thinking about doing a cycling trip in Morocco.
I am getting a new phone, the Samsung Mega. This is because I use the internet on the move more than I use a phone.
In Morocco I have two options (My UK sim would be too expensive to use), a phone sim or a data sim. Can I put a data sim in my new phone and then use skype if I need to make a call? This would allow me to use Google Earth with GPS, research info, hotels, book my return flight etc.
If I can't get data reception in a certain area I can then use my UK sim if I need to make an urgent call.
This year I bought a data sim in France. I had to buy a dongle (Hauwei wifi) because they said the sim would not work in my phone. Not sure if that means all phones or just the one I had.
I have heard that Morocco is very good for mobile phone reception because land lines are almost non-existant outside towns.

Try asking on a forum about phones.
This is a bike forum that doesnt even discuss bikes.
Try a question on norks if you want a better response.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -
Have to agree with Daviesee, couldn't give a ****.
Sorry.0 -

Buy a pre paid sim card when you are in Morocco.my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -

Nah, good post... Just beyond our intellectual capacity to answer. Most of us can't figure out how a sundial works...0

What network is that sundial on? I am due an upgrade.Superstition sets the whole world in flames; philosophy quenches them.

Morocco? Is that a suburb of Londinium?"Get a bicycle. You won't regret it if you live"

90% of commuters are in Londinium.
That in itself may explain a lot.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

Then statistically one of the five of us currently browsing this forum must be Chinese. It's not me.... I think....."Get a bicycle. You won't regret it if you live"
