Roam with a US Provider

Several major wireless carriers offer calling plans and telephones that provide service in the US and abroad. Normally, you purchase a calling plan for service while you are in the US and then you must pay roaming charges when you use your phone outside of your US calling area. However, roaming can be very expensive, ranging from $0.99 per minute to more than $4.00 per minute. You can receive your incoming calls to your US-based phone while you are abroad, but you will be charged for incoming calls at the roaming rate. If convenience is most important to you, this is a good, though expensive option for you. While in the US, you can save on outgoing international calls by using Gorilla Mobile.
