Call anywhere with National Geographic’s travel phone
If you’re an international student, a frequent vacationer or a business traveler, here’s an all-in-one mobile phone solution for you. National Geographic announces “Talk Abroad Travel Phone”, a cell phone that can make and take calls in over 100 countries around the world while maintaining only one personal number.
It will be cool to sit at a beach in the tropics one day, explore the African savanna in the next, stroll through busy European streets in another and still use the same cell phone number all along. If you don’t do much traveling and prefer to be glued in your little old hometown, it’s still cool to know that you have a phone that you could use properly from anywhere else in the world.
The National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone is a prepaid solution, meaning there are no contracts to sign or bills to pay monthly. The sim card, though, is available only on select mobile telephone stores. For the most frequently traveled countries, (we guess US, Canada and European countries) the flat rate for outgoing calls is US$ 0.90 per minute, but the incoming calls come in free. Users can also easily access customer service anytime, free, right on the phone.
This gadget will be available on March 2007 with an MSRP of $ 199. So it doesn’t have all the other add-ins that other mobile phones do, but at least you can make and take calls anywhere using this.
