Overview of Three Basic International Cell Phone Rental Options
 
There are essentially three options for U.S travelers in need of a cell phone for international travel:
 
  1. • Rent an international phone and be billed later for the usage
  2. • Roam with your U.S. cell phone carrier and pay international roaming charges
  3. • Rent or buy a GSM phone and prepaid SIM card and use it on a pay-as-you-go basis
 
The advantages and drawbacks of each choice are discussed on the above pages.
 
Which Is the Best Option?
 
Of the three basic international phone choices listed above and discussed on this site, there is no “best” option. That’s because there are trade-offs in price, ease of use, and what phone number you want while traveling abroad (foreign, U.S., or your existing cell phone number).
 
This site gives you information about each option in order to help you choose the service that best suits your needs, budget and technical capabilities.
