Abroad, the mailbox can be a real cost to be the case - therefore better off before the flight! An alternative is to fully divert all calls to the mailbox - then the customer is only accessible via SMS or can call itself. Who long time in a country, you should be under circumstances where a prepaid card growth, so a card in for the talks will be paid in advance. It is recommendable that these in a store to buy several mobile providers represents - not calculated in the most expensive fare to come.
