Going on Vacation? Stay in Touch with Prepaid Cellular
When budgeting for that big vacation, you'll no doubt sit down
with a calculator and figure out the cost of airfare, car
rental, hotel, restaurants, and tourist attractions. But one
cost that is often overlooked is long distance calling. While on
vacation, you'll often need to make long distance calls back
home. You may need to check up on teenagers--or place a call to
the neighbors to make sure that no wild parties are taking
place. You may need to check in with the office periodically.
Or, you might just want to call your friends from time to time,
especially if they are back home where there's a foot of snow on
the ground and you're in Hawaii.
Those long distance calls can take a big bite out of your
vacation budget. Hotels and motels will typically allow long
distance calls to be made from your room, but what most people
don't know is that the rates you will be charged when you check
out are often very high. The hotel will usually add on a
surcharge to the regular phone rate, and this surcharge can be
substantial. You may wind up paying several dollars for a phone
call that would otherwise cost you ten or twenty cents. And
what's worse about hotel phones is that you may even know ahead
of time how much you are going to be charged, and you'll get a
nasty surprise when you check out.
The perfect solution is prepaid cellular. Even if you don't
normally use a cell phone, a prepaid phone can be
an excellent
short-term solution for vacations and other trips,
giving you an opportunity to know precisely how much your calls
are costing you, and regulate how much is being spent.
Even if you will be traveling in a foreign country, this is
still often an option. Using pay phones or hotel phones in a
foreign country can be confusing, and even costlier than
domestic hotel phones. When you reach your destination, check
into whether temporary cell phone service is available. In some
countries, you can even rent a cell phone right at the airport,
use it while you are there, and then drop it back off when you
fly back home.
Some domestic cell phone plans do have international features,
although this will not be available in all countries, so check
with your carrier ahead of time to see if you will be able to
keep your regular cell phone when you go overseas. If they do
offer this service, find out how much it will cost. Your normal
domestic rates will not apply, and it may even be cheaper to
leave your regular cell phone at home and rent one while you're
overseas.
