• For only a day or two in a country, just buy an international phone card before you depart, or when you arrive, buy one at the airport, train station, or kiosk.

Before you go abroad, you will receive the international cell phone, phone number, battery, charger, case, instructions, and return envelope. Once you arrive at your destination, the phone will activate. Upon returning home, just mail the international cell phone back in the supplied return envelope.

If your are on a cruise, there probably won't be cell access. You can use a ship-to-shore phone for about $8-12 per minute. You can rent a global cell phone to use while in port if the port country has cell service. Or you can rent a satellite phone.

Some countries don't have a cell phone infrastructure so you will need to rent a satellite phone.
