A concern for travellers is the
expensive cost of making calls especially during international travel.
In spite of the efforts made by telecommunication companies to beat down
prices by roaming your number, the telephone bills for travellers keeps
piling.
As to providing some reprieve, we roundup cost effective ways to make calls anywhere in the world.
Skype
There has been an increase in internet penetration in Africa with as much as 70% of the Nigerian population optimizing internet services such as online telephony at a higher rate.
Skype is a cheap way to make
voice and video calls as the user will either buy credit to call a
number or have enough internet data to make communicate to another skype
user. However, this mode of making calls is reliant on how good your
internet connection is.
Aside from chatting with friends and
colleagues, you can now use this app to make inexpensive voice calls.
Unlike skype that you cannot call an unsaved number, WhatsApp allows you
to call any number of your choice as long as it is saved in your
contact.
Roaming
Roaming is a network service that makes
it possible for people travelling to use their phones in a foreign
country. Roaming may not be an option for some travellers however, it is
effective for persons who are not tech savvy or rely on their phones
for business and other transactions.
