Recommendation and money-saving tips
Talk Abroad is your best option if:
-
You're visiting more than one country--for example, on an
escorted tour, a train or car trip, or a cruise around Europe.
-
You won't be making frequent local calls.
-
Local people won't call you very often.
-
You need a single, permanent European phone number abroad
and/or a U.S.-based number where you can be reached by Americans who don't
know how to call overseas.
A single-country SIM card is your best option if:
-
You're visiting only one country.
-
You'll be using the phone often for local calls.
-
Local people will need to call you frequently.
Money-saving tips:
-
If you travel to Europe reasonably often but don't always visit
the same country, Talk Abroad is likely to be a better value because you can keep
using it instead of buying a new SIM card for each trip. Also, you can recharge
Talk Abroad and keep the same phone number indefinitely wherever you live.
-
When calling friends, family, or co-workers back home, ask
them to call back from a landline phone or with Skype. That way, you won't
use up your outgoing talk time. (Incoming calls are free.)
-
Be aware of surcharges. For example, there's a surcharge for outgoing calls to mobile phones,
so you'll save money by calling business colleagues, family, friends, or
business contacts at their landline
numbers.
