Most of us are more dependent on our phones than we realise. We are seldom found without it, and this is how we want to keep it! The problem arises when we're going abroad on a holiday, and we can't use our phone without running up a humongous mobile phone bill.

Most networks charge incoming call rates while on international roaming. Plus there\'s usually a roaming service fee for activating international roaming, well for some networks anyway. Rates increase not just for making calls and receiving them, but also for sending messages!

So what is the best solution for travel communication? One option is not to use a mobile phone while travelling, and rely only on local phones and the internet. But for those who don\'t consider this an option, there are sim only contracts for iphone and other phones that could be of interest.

Sim only contracts are the perfect way to use your handset while travelling without running up a large bill. This is because the sim you use is local, so local call rates apply and there are no incoming charges. Sim only contracts can be quite flexible, and you can even find prepaid sim cards.

So if travel communication is your concern, and you can't let go of your phone, sim only contracts could be perfect for you! Now you can use your beloved handset anywhere without paying for international roaming.
