Save Money With An International Calling Card

Posted on 01 September 2010

I frequently go to Spain (Moraira holiday) and I have a few tricks I use to get cheaper calls. The first thing you need to check is that your phone is GSM compatible and is also unlocked. This will allow you to change the SIM card and make use of the phone network in Spain without having extortionate roaming charges. I took my camera phone and got some Moraira Villa Images as well.

Once you have determined if your phone uses GSM then you will have a few options to choose from. An international SIM card is one very good option which you can get from STA. You will get a whole $10 of international call credit with your $9 SIM card. You also get 30 minutes of free times for your friend at home to call you. This is really handy if people need to reach you, as you don’t want to be responsible for them having a massive phone bill at the end of the month. Have the card delivered to your house before you set off and avoid any hassle of picking one up whilst on the go.

With a Happy Movil offer an easy to use SIM card for 10 euros. You get the card with 5 euros already on it and per minute costs start from just 5.8 cents. According to Happy Movil this card is enough to get you 71 minutes of call time when abroad, which seems quite impressive.

A Vodafone SIM can give you a hours worth of calling for just 28c. When you call home you will be charged just 1.2c a minute, which is very cheap in comparison to the other providers. Being just one of four networks in Spain Vodafone offers great coverage. Which is great at stopping your leisure holidays turning into walking holidays.
