Cure for High Mobile (Cell) Roaming Charges!
-
Hi Guys,
I've been in Spain recently for a few days and used
my mobile phone on a number of occasions for calls
and Internet connections. I expect to see a whopping
bill this month as the mobile phone companies here in
Europe really rub it in when it comes to roaming charges.However, I noticed an article in today's Irish Mail
which seems to offer some hope for the future. Pat
Phelan, a former head chief and long time techie geek
has come up with what looks like the ideal solution.
His 'truly global mobile phone' allows both inward and
outward calls for the price of a local call anywhere in
the World!His site is, http://www.maxroam.com/default.asp and
I've just scanned the info. It appears to be an answer
to those high roaming bills.Do any of you make / receive mobile calls while abroad,
if so I'd appreciate your take on the service.Mike

Hmmm, I'm over in Sweden regularly- I'll look into this, it could be handy.
Thanks Mike. -
Jackson,
I tried to sign up / buy last week and did not know whether
or not it the payment went through. I've now allowed time
to see if it went through and it appears not to have so I'll
have another go.Please let me know how you get on with it, if you decide to
purchase. It definitely makes sense when abroad ...... I just
hate being screwed by those telephone companies.Mike

Mike,
Will do.
BTW, did you see your Happy Birthday and "Mike's got his Trike" threads on the Corner Bar?

Got my MAX ROAM card today, just in time as I'm spending a few
days in Spain so will be able to test it out. I'll report back
on how it works.Mike

Cool, have a nice holiday.

Thanks Jackson, its only a Wed to Sat break
but again I get bored if longer

It worked fine for calls but was not able to
go on the Net (via Nokia 6300) to check emails.
I must contact them to see is this is possible
or in the pipeline.Mike
