How do I make calls when I'm traveling outside the United States?

If you travel outside the U.S., your phone should not work (this includes cruise ship travel). If it does, you should plan on paying at least $1-3 per minute. To make matters worse, if your phone rings, you are billed—even if you don’t answer it. Our advice is to leave your phone at home.

There are many companies that specialize in renting cell phones for international travel. To find some options, search Google for “international cell phones.”

Can I use my phone while I'm on a cruise?

Our service is designed to only work within the United States (yes—Alaska and Hawaii are part of the U.S.). Once you leave the U.S., your phone should not work. This includes cruise ship travel. If by chance it does, the rates are completely unregulated and set by the country in which you are traveling. Generally, it will cost at least $1 - $3 per minute. To make matters worse, if your phone rings, you are billed—even if you don’t answer it. Our advice is to leave your phone at home.
