    Great option to stay connected. Travel without roaming charges in most cases.

    TEP Wireless Travel – Global Wi-Fi

    International Phone

    International Phone Service

    Currently there aren’t alot of great options. The cost tends to be high or the process highly inconvenient.

    My current favorite communication option based on how I travel is:

    Skype*.

    Other Options Include:

    T-Mobile – International Plan

    Consider an unlocked phone or a local sim card purchase in an international country. The process is involved but it does bring the best cost.
