If you are a frequent traveler then you, like others, would be disturbed a lot by one thing and that is international roaming charges on your cell phones . Most of the travelers are those who go to Europe and other parts of the world and enjoy cheap beer and food.

When they come back they get hefty roaming bills. Then are business travelers who work hard all day long and save money all month. They try and spend less on food and other things during travel abroad but when they come back they are astonished to see the extravagant bill on their tables which is of the international roaming charges.

Just to quote an example, the roaming charges in China for receiving or making a call are $5.99 per minute. Keeping in view the above conditions, it is necessary to find a solution to curtail these bills. Here are 5 tips which can save you a lot of money where international roaming charges are concerned:-

1. First thing is Jajah which is like Skype but for cell phones. It is a delay which can be put on cell phones by the international carriers. Jajah can be downloaded for free. Jajah prevents you from occupying precious space on networks. It holds good for people having unlimited connections. With Jajah you can talk for free and for unlimited time. Jajah earns money by advertising online.

2. Everyone is addicted to making free calls and Babble Stick is the right way to fuel this addiction. All you have to do is plug it into your PC and make free calls anywhere you want. You can also get a hand set version of the babble stick and it can be seen on the web online. There is no special software required to operate it but the software platform is inbuilt and secure.

3. You should use a pre paid phone card and it would be much better if your service provider uses VOIP. VOIP is Voice Over Internet Protocol and is a telephony service. You should also have your phone unlocked. Using pre paid service is much better then having a normal connection. Moreover by having the phone unlocked you will have no carrier restrictions. This enables the phone to be used with SIM cards of GSM carriers. It gives two distinct advantages. First is that you can use your phone virtually all over the world. Second is wherever you go you can get a SIM of that country’s GSM service provider and save yourself from international roaming.

4. You should try and resort to emails and messaging and avoid making phone calls. It is much cheaper then making calls directly.

5. The people who travel a lot and use handsets like BlackBerry can get unlimited email packages from the carriers. The flat fee is generally $15 per month and saves you a lot of additional charges when compared against making calls. The phone can be connected with the laptop and can be used to send emails and messages.
