How do I avoid incoming roaming fees when traveling abroad?
When someone travels to a foreign land they will have to face roaming charges if they stick on to the original carrier they are with…to avoid the roaming charges one can either rent a mobile in the foreign country or use a local sim.Another option is to avail WiFi but you can completely depend on it as only certain places offer that service.
When you rent a mobile be careful to read the regulations and lease period.Renting a cell phone is advised for those who are traveling overseas for only one or two weeks.
Another option is to use a local sim with your mobile.For that your mobile should be unlocked one so as to accept the sim card that you insert.If it is locked with a particular network then it won’t be able to recognize or accept other networks.To unlock your phone you can approach the respective network provider or any third party unlocking websites like unBBlock.com (specifically for Blackberry mobile models) or Simpleunlocking.com and remove the restriction.Once the mobile is unlocked you can use the phone with the local sim.
Choose an option depending on the number of days that you stay and the one that is economical for you.
You can use the MINO application when traveling abroad, however, the mobile carrier treats the call with MINO as an incoming call and charges incoming roaming fees. If while abroad, you have access to a local landline or local mobile phone, you can avoid the incoming roaming fees by changing your default Call From Number to a local landline or mobile. As a result, your local landline or mobile will ring when you initiate a MINO call. This easy-to-do change enables you to call anywhere using MINO without incoming roaming fees. If you do not have access to a local number, you can use MINO WebCall to avoid incoming roaming fees, refer to the MINO WebCall FAQ for more information.
