TalkAbroad by National Geographic: One phone, one number, one world
Of course nobody knows geography the way National Geographic does. Then, obviously nobody can connect the world better than the National Geographic. So you see, what I’m about to talk about now is not something that National Geographic wasn’t already capable off, but its definitely something that’ll make you happy that it finally made it (well, at least partly happy). You may no longer need to wait hours on end hoping to hook-up the cheapest local card so that your family or that special someone somewhere in the world can reach you while you’re busy gallivanting on that much-too unavoidable business trip. Moreover, with cell phone service providers charging a bomb for every call and also every voicemail (that’s the worst part, when that bozo at college calls; you’re at a loss when he leaves you that not-so-welcome long voicemail). Well, now the good news is, with the TalkAbroad Travel Phone by National Geographic, you can just keep one number across 65 countries and incoming calls are actually for free! Of course SMS and Voicemail are also supported. Well outgoing charges on the phone may not make you smile so much though. It can cost you almost $2.50 if you’re in Iraq and want to call local or $ 2 if you were in Spain and wanted to make a local call. But of course, if convenience and staying connected at all times are on your priority list, then you’re obviously going to love this one. Well, with the amount of traveling I do in a year, I simply adore this one. (NiRa)
