RangeRoamer comes with 2 phone numbers: You get a European number & a US toll-free number
You decide how you want people to call you and who should pay for the call.
If you want people to call you for free, give them your US toll-free number.
When they call it, it will connect them to you wherever you are in 160 countries.
For this toll-free connection, you would pay 69¢ per minute to receive those
calls but they would be calling you for free. If, instead, you don't want
to pay for these calls, just give them your European cell phone number.
They will call you on it and you will receive the calls for free in 40 countries
and at very low rates in other places. You would not pay 69¢ per minute
to receive these calls.
Why do we provide this feature? Many RangeRoamer users
have close family and friends and want to make sure that they can be contacted
while traveling no matter what. A toll-free number is something everybody
knows how to call and everybody can call, regardless of what type of phone
plan they have from their local phone company. It also keeps them from having
to pay for an international long distance call. Also, many people choose
to forward all of their other phone lines to their RangeRoamer toll-free
number.
| European Cell Number |
Anyone can call you on your European cell number (starts with 011-372-xxx-xxxx or 011-44-79-xxxx-xxxxx).
You receive calls FREE in 40 countries, and others at low
rates. The person calling you from the US will pay international
long distance charges.
|
| US Toll-Free Number |
This lets people call you for free, and instead you pay the call charges to receive the call.
Benefits
- Lets family call you for free without footing an international call bill.
- You can forward all your other phones to it and receive calls while traveling.
- Everyone knows how to dial a toll-free number (less complicated than calling Europe)
NOTE: Answered calls made to your toll-free number bill to your
RangeRoamer phone at $0.69 per minute. If you want to keep the number
for more than a month, there is a $3.99 monthly charge for this second
line so that we do not ever reassign your toll-free number to somebody
else.

Some Examples of how this works:
(using Joe as an example)
How is Joe back in the States going to call my European cell phone number
while I'm traveling?
Either he dials it straight from his phone, or he can use a phone card
or other means. Joe will pay international long distance charges.
What if I don't want Joe to pay for those international calls?
Just have Joe call you on your RangeRoamer toll-free number. It is free
for him to call it, easy to dial, and very convenient. You will pay 69¢
per minute.
What if I want to forward all my US calls to me while traveling?
Your US RangeRoamer number is especially useful because you can forward your
home, cell, office, etc. straight to it, and then all your calls will be
automatically forwarded to you while you travel. The best part about this
solution is that it is often times cheaper to use our forwarding service
than paying your local or cell phone company to forward your calls directly
to your international cell phone number. (view
