Aug 08, 2006 -- Range Roamer allows calling in multiple count

Do you remember when it cost money to use your cell phone to call out of town? It’s been a while, but it happened. Today, the dilemma is calling overseas on cell phones or using a cell phone in a foreign country. It is possible, though, with what’s called a “World Phone.” The calls can end up being $6 a minute, not to mention the charge just to make or receive a call. There are ways around this, though, including acquiring a foreign number. And what if you’re traveling from country to country? You have to get a chip for each country. But there is a new service out there called “Range Roamer,” which allows people to use one number in multiple countries. Calling back to the States is about 69 cents a minute. That’s not as good as getting a chip for each country. But it’s much easier. It costs $49 to get set up and you get a batch of minutes with that. So, it’s worth a try.

This week's poll
Do you like the idea of auto insurers switching to a pay-as-you-drive model -- where how, when and where you drive may be monitored?
Yes, I'm all for any approach that can save me money.
No, it's too much like having Big Brother in the back seat.
I'm not sure. I'd like the savings, but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable being monitored.
