Recommendation and money-saving tips

TalkAbroad 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 phone number abroad.

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, TalkAbroad 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 TalkAbroad 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. (The cheapest way for them to do this is with a phone card or with a low-cost international phone carrier. Cellular Abroad recommends Gorilla Mobile, which gives a discount to its customers.)

• Be aware of surcharges. For example, there's a 32-cent-per-minute surcharge for outgoing TalkAbroad calls to mobile phones, so you'll save money by calling Mom, Dad, or Dick and Jane at their landline numbers.
