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.
