Using your mobile phone for international travel
Did you know that some international travellers have difficulty using their mobile phone overseas?

In particular, travellers heading to America, Japan or Korea may find that their mobile phone simply won’t work at all. Fortunately, companies such as Mobal (http://www.mobalrental.com/), offer services developed specifically for international travellers.

The first job is to find out if you mobile phone will work in the country your visiting, so why not take advantage of the free advice offered at Mobal, by calling free phone 888-888-9162.

If you have established that your mobile phone doesn’t work, the options are…

Renting a cell phone

before your trip, and then return the phone when you get back home

Buying an international SIM card

Using a local (or roaming) SIM card in your existing mobile phone is a popular option for budget travellers, but can be considered inconvenient. If you run out of call credit when making an important call you’ll need to find a local retailer who sells top-up cards.

Buying an international cell phone

The most convenient option (for US travellers) is to buy an international cell phone that includes a SIM card. The Mobal GSM World Phone service , for $49 is the one of the most popular world phones in the US.

Using a Satellite phones for remote travel

If you are travelling to remote areas, you may find there is no cellular coverage at all. For these areas you can rent satellite phones that give global coverage. Satellite phones are also used as an emergency back up, and during disaster recovery.
