Cellular Abroad International Cell Phones

Our mission is simple; to provide anyone traveling internationally the security and convenience of cellular service at low prices. All our services are pay so you can be in control of what you are paying. Providers, such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, while offering international service, are far beyond the affordability of most international travelers and many of the cell phones do not even work internationally. We have provided tens of thousands of budget-minded customers with cell phone rentals and sales, including the National Geographic Travel Phone, for over 8 years. Whether you are on vacation, a study abroad program or on a business trip, we can provide you with affordable solutions for international cell phone communication for rent or purchase.

As seen in popular travel publications.

If you are traveling to several countries, we recommend the National Geographic branded services. If you are traveling to only one country, please consider a “country specific” solution.

Brief Intro to our services

International cell phone service can be confusing. Many phones, particularly in North America, are simply incompatible with overseas networks and therefore do not work internationally at any price. The information on this brief intro will help you to understand if you can use your current cell phone with our services, how much you stand to save using our services as well as cost saving tips for international communication. See our Intro to Service Guide for further information.

International Cell Phone Rentals and SIM Cards

Cellular Abroad offers cell phone rentals as well as cell phone or SIM card purchase plans for individual countries as well as for multi-country travel. The National Geographic Talk Abroad Rental is our number one product offering unlimited free incoming calls in 90 countries. The Talk Abroad is also available for purchase as a phone/SIM package or SIM only option. In addition to our low rates, all of our solutions are prepaid; you are in complete control of how much you spend and with no monthly fees or contracts to sign. Additional talk time is available locally or through our 24/7 customer service center.

International Cell Phone Packages

For the vast majority of our services, we don't make a dime on the calls. In essence, our customers use the same pay as you go service the locals use. As an added convenience, for our top selling countries, our customers can purchase talk time directly from us 24/7 toll free. Pay as you go service is extremely popular overseas and is the solution of choice for most users. In Italy for example, over 90% of cell phone customers use pay as you go.Our most popular solution is the National Geographic Travel Phone.

International SIM Cards

If your current cell phone is a GSM phone and has the proper bands for international use, you may be able to simply purchase a “country specific” SIM card, if you are traveling to only one country, or the National Geographic Talk Abroad SIM card for use in multiple countries. To find out if your phone will work with our SIM cards, please refer to the Intro to our Services Guide.

Satellite Phones

There are some destinations where a conventional cell phone is not enough. Since Satellite Phones work using satellites, they work anywhere on the face of the earth, including in the middle of the ocean, the desert and mountains. While rates are significantly more expensive than with cell phones, our service is pay as you go so you are always in control of your expenditures. See our Satellite Rental Page.
