| Post subject: | on phone use when traveling |
This subject has been well covered here but here's a compilation type article on ways to not get trapped by high roaming charges and such: http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/08/07/tr ... broad.html Extracted from this are some Websites: a Skype-like company http://www.truphone.com/en-US/ A list of free and paid WiFi locations--they advertise Android locations but will work as well with iPhones http://www.jiwire.com/android >> I personally use this: http://www.wefi.com/ Another app for phones: http://www.viber.com/ Old Faithful (Skype) has had some improvements, mainly video calling--worth another look: http://www.skype.com To be continued next week... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OK it's next week and here's another helpful article by the same writer: http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/08/14/tr ... broad.html Extracted from that are these Websites: http://www.tepwireless.com/ http://www.xcomglobal.com/ http://www.cellularabroad.com/ << from The National Geographic Society http://www.telestial.com/ << been mentioned here before most noticeably by Brother Prolijo but that discussion was 3 years ago http://www.onavo.com/ << highly touted by Apple https://secure.tasim.com/Default.aspx?lang=En << got some weird sh!t when just putting in TASIM w/o the dot com--try it http://www.opera.com/ << A stripped-down browser for mobile devices and PCs--from Norway There was a ton of comments attached to both articles (over 200) chock-full of tactics, tips, tricks and techniques--see especially #36 this week for old-skool CR advice. |
