Make Cheap Calls while You’re on Holiday
It’s so frustrating when you go on holiday and you end up using most of your money on phone cards to ring home and catch up with friends and family. Not least because more often than not you are forced to use a dilapidated dirty phone box that’s falling to pieces. Also, there’s nothing more annoying then being stuck in the middle of nowhere, without any money left on your phone card, or even a shop nearby to buy a new one. I kind of new that it was actually possible to make phone calls over the internet, often seeing other people enthusiastically chatting away wearing headsets at cyber cafes. Not being very technical or aware of the latest technological developments, I was completely unaware until recently that you can use the same ‘VoIP’ technology to make cheap international calls from your mobile.
There are several ways of doing this; its possible to get either a special sim card for your phone from companies such as ‘oneroam’ or ‘gosim’, OR even better than that download a piece of software for your mobile phone which gives you the ability to make cheap VoIP phone calls without the hassle of long access codes or having to change your sim. The best bit is there are no roaming charges either – if only such technology was around when I went travelling, I would have had so much more money for fun!
