Most international cellular phone services are affordable and are a great way to stay connected to your home and office.

You can receive an international cellular phone service in two ways. If you are an infrequent traveler currently using a US GSM service through a tri-band international phone, then you can use your current phone internationally by just updating your account for international roaming. This option is rather costly if you use your handset frequently on traveling. The second, and the most popular, option is renting an international cellular phone service and a phone.

Renting an international cellular phone service is easy. You can either purchase online or purchase directly by just filing a simple form. Then you will receive a handset with a US-based phone number and a shipping envelope for retuning the phone. You then have to pay the rent for the handset, either weekly or monthly, and a fee for the minutes used. When you no longer want the service, you can return the handset by simply putting it into the mailing envelop and sending it back. This option is chosen by most of the frequent travelers.

Other advantages involve cheap rate, worry-free travel, easy return policy, no voice delay or distortion, no need for buying telephones in unfamiliar territory. You can also purchase low-cost insurance for the handset. The main disadvantage of using rental international cellular phone services is that the handsets are usually of low quality.
