International Cell Phone

That's a good tip to bear in mind...

I would go with the prepaid phone card or voip and Onesuite actually has both. Check if the phone card company has access number to the country you are going to. For voip, it really doesn't matter because the only thing you check is the rate of the country you are going to call, you will always be calling from the internet and it doesn't matter what country you are currently.

You'll be amazed about the rate difference between phone or voip versus roaming rates or even lcoal sim long distance rates.

I always get an international phone, mostly for emergencies. But I always end up calling someone for 10 minutes or sending SMSs to keep in touch, and my bill is astounding. But it's only once in awhile and it's convenient! Perfect example: calling my best friend from the top of Jungfrau in Switzerland for 8 minutes--at $4 a minute!

I just got a phone with GPS and my god is it handy. yeah it cost extra, but i never feel lost and am able to enjoy myself where ever I am. You can also download tours that work with the GPS that will show you how to get to famous areas. -snip- It has been a fun experience so far, but now I feel kind of addicted. Damn you innovation!!!
