International Calling
I know that when my husband called home from Kentucky a couple months ago it cost $30 and I’ve always assumed that international calling rates had to be super expensive. I found out that actually you can call internationally at a reasonable cost if you plan ahead and really find out what your options are. And it helps to have a cell phone.
For my next (and first) trip to Mexico (see video below) I am definitely going to make sure that everybody that calls me is using MobileTalk by Packet8. It’s a super cheap way to make international calls from the United States on your cell phone. Everyone I know has a cell phone if not two, so when I want to talk to them from vacation in Mexico, I’ll have them give me a call at the hotel.
I know a lot of people now that don’t even have a land line. Their only phone service is their cell phone. They carry it everywhere they go so that plan works for them. Most of them have great plans for calling nationwide long distance for free. Now there’s also a plan to extend the great rates of a cell phone to international calls.
