This is not absolutely without error, but its pretty good. Its a description of PAYG (prepaid) SIM cards the world over. If you're phone is unlocked, then you should always consider getting a local SIM when you travel. That and something like aRebtel acount will keep your bills pretty damned low. You should have a look and see what's here, just so that when/if you do need it you know where to look. prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Prepaid_SIM_with_dataIt also contains a great deal of useful background information and explanations. |

I just travel in Europe so I have a deal that gives me unlimited texts and calls and up to 4GB data per month. Useful link if I went further. I also get up to 12GB UK data but I'll never use that.

I use skype and whatsapp to stay in touch with back home, but I know a few people who will find rebtel useful when they're away. Cheers.

The advantage of Rebtel, and similar services, is that for the person receiving the call it is just a call. No need for any software, no need to do anything different, just pick up the phone, mobile or landline, and answer it. This is essential when calling my parents.
And it costs me around 0.5p per minute to the UK. Though calling a UK mobile is more. Calling any number in the US is around 0.1p per minute.
So you put in a local SIM, authorise whatever that local number is on your Rebtel account, and off you go paying bugger all. You can also authorise a landline. It will then give you a local number to call which it will automatically route to whatver international number you wanted.
As I say there are many services, but I find Rebtel has consistently excellent quality lines.
