Frequent travelers will tell you point blank that being connected can be both complex and costly while abroad. Chances are that your local handset and provider would probably not work in other countries. Travelers opt to either buy or rent satellite phone or international cell phone. It’s important that you determine first which one suits your needs and financial limitations best.

If you’re headed for the mountains or will be cruising on a ship, a satellite phone rental is for you since only a line of sight sky vision is needed to make a call. If your destinations are covered by cellular network, then go for an international cell phone instead. To buy or to rent international cell phone would be the next question in line. Do a little accounting and check if you’re a heavy traveler who needs to communicate constantly or you are geared for a one-time long distance trip. If you’re the latter, it’s recommended to rent international cell phone.

A rented phone is definitely more costly than buying prepaid cards but it surely is cheaper than dealing with hotel switchboard operators. You also avoid the hassles of looking for phone booths and requesting to be connected. Spare yourself the worries of language barriers with operators and get a sense of security in a foreign country during emergencies. Incoming calls are also more convenient for you and your callers.

Before you rent international cell phone, decide first if you’ll get one before your leave your country or upon your arrival in another country. Search for a legitimate phone rental company. The internet is a good place to search but your travel company may refer you to one. Compare prices and call rates as well as miscellaneous charges. Ask if there are discounts if calls come from your origin. Note the schedule of pick up and drop off of the rented unit. In short, find out just as many details you could before signing up.
