Re: Mobile Phones for International Travel

If I may take this important point of interest a bit
further...

Recently and in the future I will travel to Asia (China,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and more...). There
are a few companies that offer really inexpensive
telephone services on a wide spread international
basis. United Mobile is one that I was seriously
considering.

United Mobile is based in Liechtenstein and (I think)
UK. Their services are among the least expensive. I
talked to one of their existing customers, I asked how
does the service work? Check this out... when you
want to make a call, you dial the number then hit
connect. The telephone sends a SMS to United Mobile
in Liechtenstein or UK (depending on where your
services are based out of). United Mobile then calls
you, your phone rings (you are connected to a local
network/service provider). You answer, then United
Mobile calls the other party (the one you want to
call)... It rings, they pick up, you talk.

Easy, simple, inexpensive, international... Yes. Since I
do not talk much or long when abroad... I still have
not decided if I want to buy into United Mobile or stay
with my current Sunrise-Abo handy and Skype.
Why do you need a special SIM card for this?
We use often webservices as webcalldirect.com to call China that works the same and you can keep your Sunrise Sim to use it...
