In most cases, the cellular rates are better than what you pay for the hotel phone. In some areas they are almost on par with calling card rates. The primary advantage over calling cards is calling cards don t take incoming calls. As I said earlier, the costs involved depend on where you, the phone user, are, and where you are calling. Not as important, but certainly significant, is the company you are renting from.
Different companies offer different rates, and different calling plans.
Look carefully before you shop you may end up paying for something that is offered elsewhere at better prices. The best place to turn for advice on these matters is your travel agent. Global cellular phone rental companies, like car rental companies, frequently send them fliers and brochures for their customers. It is always to your advantage to consider your needs in advance of your traveling. Make sure that you have adequate time to investigate cellular phone and calling card rates each one offers far better rates than what you ll pay at the hotel.
