How to Save Big Money with Roaming

With all my years of travel, and my constant need to connect to the internet, now I will share with you how to save money crazy, traveling to other countries for phone calls and Internet data usage.

There was a time when I traveled in Europe and America, and happy with my iPhone and Blackberry, checking e-mails and Web sites. When I returned to my native country, I was shocked to see the accounts, totaling more than $ 10,000! This was mainly due to the use of the data, ie access to the Internet! It was totally shocking bills.

So here are some ways to save on the ridiculous data roaming bills. Your local telco will charge you to use your local phone but the person you are paying for the convenience of it!

First, make sure you have 2 phones. I have an iphone 4 and BlackBerry. Let me explain:

I used to use the BlackBerry all the time, but the telcos have always charge extra for use of the BlackBerry. The only advantage that I saw you use the BlackBerry Messenger. Now with Whatsapp, blackberries and iPhones can communicate. Whatsapp iPhone is 0.99 cents and free blackberries. You can download the App Store on iPhone and Blackberry go to AppWorld Whatsapp. Android phones to be in store as well, just look. I'm not sure about the Symbian and Windows handsets.

So understand that using the iPhone or Android phone, even emails and surf the cheaper (since you do not have to pay for the BlackBerry Internet Service BIS) and the screen was bigger, read documents and emails, I ditched the BlackBerry data plan. My BlackBerry is my main local phone without a data plan. I would use it as a tactile keyboard, and I can still write smses faster with your BlackBerry, but not my iPhone touchscreen. Although I do not encourage texting while driving, it is faster and more efficiently with a keyboard you can actually feel and you do not have to look at. You can feel the keys, because it has a full QWERTY keyboard, I know where all the keys feel.

So I kept my BlackBerry as my home phone and my iPhone as my travel phone. In addition, the iPhone has more applications, and is much better to play games!

Now here is a mystery. The secret that will save you thousands of dollars, while in other countries.

If you are going to use the phone, especially during the day, you need a plan that will give you the maximum number of minutes after the sun. On the other hand, if you intend to use most of their weekends, a new mobile phone, you need a plan that gives you maximimum minutes on Saturday and Sunday. These are two extremes - other plans offer a number of working days during the day, evening and weekend minutes to mix.

First, buy a local SIM card that has a voice and data transmission, and then stick to your iPhone. Please make sure that your phone may work in any network with any SIM card, anywhere in the world.
