Tourist SIM cards are sold almost everywhere in firm shops. The best way to save money is to find the best promotion related to price reduction for the most popular calls directions for tourists.

It depends on the country. In Thailand, for example, it is much cheaper to buy a SIM card. In other countries it is more advantageous to dial from public phones. Roaming is expensive even with promotions. Local resources are better to be used.

A local SIM card is good, but what do you do if somebody of your friends or relatives would like to find you quickly?

instead of roaming you can use icq through GPRS. This is 100% much cheaper.

A good solution which could replace roaming is to buy a smartphone/pda and install any kind of messenger on it. You will only pay for the consumed traffic of MB.

There is a new service like IP-roaming, it includes the possibilities of roaming and prices for IP telephony.

Incoming roaming calls are expensive, but, you can use roaming for receiving SMS for FREE! I haven't heard of a mobile operator that would charge anything for incoming SMS.

you're right Hakan. Free cheese is only in the trap. Once they offer free sms they should compensate that somehow, thus many other fees are charged.

Not always. Some companies are able to lower their prices by having a very large number of subscribers.

Let's suppose a company has 10,000,000 subscribers, who send about 2,000,000 sms a day. they have 0,01 dollar of net profit - it's about 2,000,000 cents, that's $20,000 per day. Not bad - only from sms

This is very good service. especially for people who travel often and also for casual tourists . What about the smartphone ... in some places, the Internet can work worse than the telephone network
