| Travels abroad once or more per
year |
Purchase an international cell
phone
|
This is one of those purchases that saves more than it costs.
If you rent a phone more than once in the next two years, it
will cost you more than just buying the package. By owning
this phone, you will also save a bundle compared to other
options like hotel phones or roaming with your US cell
phone.

| Travels abroad infrequently |
Rent a cell phone
|
You can take advantage of very low rates without having to
pay for a full cell phone package. Our rental pricing may be
similar to competitors, but the per minute rates are
currently unbeatable.

Buy a SIM card (Bring your
Own Phone Package)
|
T-Mobile and Cingular phones are GSM-based, which
means there is a good chance your cell phone has the right
bands to work abroad. Check with us first to make sure your
handset is compatible. If it is, just ask your cell phone
provider to "unlock" your phone for you, a free process they
will do if you have been a customer for more than 90 days.
Once your phone is unlocked, you can just put our SIM card
in it before you travel overseas and save 60% or more on
roaming. This saves you from having to buy or rent a phone.
