My question is: Would it be better to switch to a monthly plan with fido and just bring my phone or, ... Would it be better to purchase a prepaid 'go' sim from the czech rep.

Btw, the instructions with the 'go' sim is for me to wait until i arrive at my final destination and then insert the sim and activate on the phone. Minutes are good for 90 days?+/-. Cost $53.00usd with $22.00usd balance on sim.

Please help this gsm noob.

do not use you fido sim!
It will cost an arm and a leg!
If you have an unlocked phone get the sim card over there what ever you do :-)

I would suggest you call in to fido to check with a rep what the roaming rates are, then just choose the option that is better for you.
