Get More Affordable Calls While On Holiday
Not long ago I went to Spain (Villa Moraira) and was able to make international calls a lot cheaper than I previously have been able to. The first thing you need to check is that your phone is GSM compatible and is also unlocked. What this means is that you can use any type of SIM card you want and still access the local phone network. I took my camera phone and got some Moraira Villa Images also.
With a GSM phone you now have a few money saving options to take. One option is to get yourself an international SIM card. The card costs $9 and also comes pre paid with $10 worth of credit. What is great about this SIM is that all your friends back home can call you free of charge for 30 minutes. This is really handy if people need to reach you, as you don’t want to be responsible for them having a massive phone bill at the end of the month. Have the card delivered to your house before you set off and avoid any hassle of picking one up whilst on the go.
If you want there is also a SIM card available from Happy Movil for 10 euros. You get the card with 5 euros already on it and per minute costs start from just 5.8 cents. According to Happy Movil this card is enough to get you 71 minutes of call time when abroad, which seems quite impressive.
A Vodafone SIM can give you a hours worth of calling for just 28c. When you call home you will be charged just 1.2c a minute, which is very cheap in comparison to the other providers. You will also get wide network coverage from Vodafone who are a popular network abroad. This will stop any leisure holidays turning into walking holidays.
