Here’s a great service for anyone wanting to keep in touch while traveling abroad. They provide a Global SIM card that can be used with any GSM Tri or Quad band phone to travel just about anywhere in the world. You will save as much as 90% or more on cellular calls while traveling abroad. Best of all they will assign you a local U.S. number to take with you so that friends and family here in the U.S. can easily keep in touch with you without making an International Long Distance call.

I have been using this service for about a year now. It is pretty good. However, there are times that there is a 3-5 second delay in the transmission which makes it difficult to have a normal conversation. The cost per minute is good and it does really work almost anywhere in the world. It is very easy to purchase minutes on the internet. I recommend this service for limited communications and being reached in an emergency.
