Top Ten International Cellular Roaming Questions

Friday, May 18th, 2007

1. Will my current cellular telephone work overseas?

Well, that depends on a few things. Is your current USA wireless service on the GSM standard or do you use a TDMA or CDMA handset with Verizon or Sprint? If you currently have a Verizon or Sprint handset and you want to roam internationally a cellular telephone rental will be needed. TDMA and CDMA have frequencies and technologies that are unique to the United States only and this particular technology will seldom work overseas. Now, if your current USA service provider is T-Mobile or Cingular AND you have a Tri-Mode or Quad Band telephone then your phone might work if the following requirements are met. You must have the phone approved for international roaming services by your wireless carrier (usually an additional credit check). Also, you must make sure that your USA carrier has a reciprocal roaming agreement in your exact international destination. Finally, it is important to check your carriers rates for international roaming which usually range from $1.49/minute to $5.99/minute for ALL minutes incoming and outgoing. In the end you will find that an international phone rental from www.GlobalCellularRental.com will be far cheaper than using your own phone, always. (more…)

Help me dial phone numbers from anywhere on the planet.

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

If you live in the USA and have made international calls at one point then you understand the process. To dial any number outside of North America (international) you must dial the numbers 011 before the country code, city code and seven digit phone number. For example, if I was to dial the United Kingdom from a USA mobile phone or land line phone I would dial 011(international access number),44(UK country code), 171 (city code for London) and 555-1212 (the local phone number that I want to reach in the UK. Now, from any other location outside of the USA you do not use 011 to prefix the call. If you wanted to direct dial the same number above while calling from let’s say, Germany, the pattern would be as follows. 00( two zeros lets the mobile know that you are going to be placing an international call), 44 (country code), 1710(we now add a zero after the city code as required in Europe) and the seven digit phone number of 555-1212.

Just Say NO to Pre-Paid International SIM cards!

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

If you have been scouring the web for the cheapest form of voice calling from across the globe there is no doubt you have run into the pre-paid offerings of our competitors. These companies offer pre-paid SIM cards that you put into their rented phones and can be used in a few countries with some savings. Let me be the first to warn you that this method of global communications is severely flawed.

1. Many prepaid cards will work only in your destination country. This means that if you go from Italy to Greece your phone will not work at all since it is setup only for single country use. (more…)
