A cheaper, prepaid way to makes calls abroad

The idea behind the business is that if you’re in France — or for that matter, anywhere in Europe — doing business, do you want to conduct it from an American number? Probably not. So this service provides an affordable and effective way to get things done abroad. If you’re just there for a few days, you can nab 30 minutes of calls inside France for $15. Yeah, 50 cents per minute isn’t necessarily cheap, but it beats international roaming rates. Plus, you get free incoming minutes while you’re in France, adding further incentive to this program. If you’re there a bit longer, you can get 75 minutes for $30, so that’s a slightly better value. Phone rental costs $2.99 per day, but there are programs available that give you cash back on rentals, to be applied to calls. It gets a bit costly when you leave France, or if you’re making calls outside of the country. However, we see this service and price improving in the near future. It’s a novel concept, and might even be adopted by other European nations. This will make it very easy for business people traveling abroad — especially if they have a GSM phone. All it will take in that instance is a new SIM card. [SmarterTravel.com] [Call-in-Europe]]]>
