International Cell Phone Rental

September 8th, 2009 | By Unlocked Mobile Phones in International Mobile Phones | No Comments »

If you like to go on vacations across the county, you probably like to keep communications up with friends and family back home.  But, if you’ve ever considered international calling before, it can be very expensive (and your vacation is already expensive as it is).  If you have a domestic cell phone, you don’t want to end up having to pay outrageously high international roaming charges when you call home.  International cell phone rental is a perfect solution for solving this problem.  With almost minimal cost and the many added benefits, the choice is whether you should rent or buy a new international mobile phone.

In most cases, using a mobile phone while traveling can be very expensive.  Depending on where you’re going, your current wireless carrier could end up charging upwards of $3 per minute.  And that’s not limited to outgoing calls either, if anyone you know ends up calling you, you have to pay for the minutes for that too.  Since we can assume you want to let your loved ones know that you’re safe during your travels, you’re probably wanting to find a solution to keep your bills low.  Renting an international wireless phone can solve this problem by its very low costs.  In many cases, it’s only about $30 for the first week of your vacation and then only $1.75 a day thereafter.

So what are some of the benefits?

  • You have save over 75% on your cell phone calls while traveling abroad.
  • You can receive free calls in over 54 countries.
  • You can get all the free text messages you want.
  • Cell phone coverage in over 160 countries.
  • Your calling credit is easily refillable by using your phone or the internet.
  • You receive the international mobile phone, the charger, and all the accessories needed to easily carry it around with you.

In order to get one of these phones, you need to let an international wireless phone carrier know the details of your departure and return dates of your trip.  They will send you the phone and initial $5 calling credit in the mail.  Once you get the mobile phone, you just need to turn it on and activate it using their website.  Once activated, you can add minutes to it at any time using the phone or their website.  Once you are back from your trip, all you need to do is ship it back to them.

The decision of whether you should buy or rent your mobile phone is dependent on how often and how long your travel.  If you’re only planning to be vacationing overseas for only several weeks, you’re much better off with a rental.  If, on the other hand, you travel more than 3 or 4 weeks of the year internationally, you’ll in the long term save money by buying your own international wireless phone.
