Phone Plans While Traveling Abroad

When you are traveling abroad with your phone, it is important to take certain precautions so that you do not get an ugly cell phone bill when you get home. One of the things that you can do is modify your phone service. Most major phone carriers offer an optional travel plan, of sorts. Some of these come in prepaid voice and data packages that you can buy before you travel. Though you have to read the fine print to figure out exactly what you are getting and how much it will cost. On the other hand, you can get your own hotspot.  Boingo, a company that has over 1 million hotspots worldwide, is a well known provider with a good track record. For $7.95 a month, you can get worldwide Wi-Fi on up to four mobile devices. It’s a recurring subscription, but you can cancel it when you return with no penalty. Be sure to see what the coverage is like in the location you’re visiting. Some are better covered than others. Happy travels!
