Are there other options for making low-cost phone calls while traveling?
Yes. Wi-Fi is a great way to check e-mail or make cheap phone calls using services like Skype. But you must have a phone that has Wi-Fi built in. And you must be in a Wi-Fi hot spot. Skype uses the Internet to allow people to make free or very inexpensive calls to anywhere in the world. When using Skype in a hot spot, all calls to other Skype users are free. And calls to cell phones and landline phones can be made at very inexpensive rates.
