Link: World Chatter: Tricks of the Trade: Cell Phones Abroad – DailyCandy
I was sent this by one of New York’s finest hotshot property developers. Not only does she have a First in Law from King’s College, she also ONCE kept a new Blackberry (gift from her brother) under her desk for a year. A YEAR. Before opening it up, using it, and discovering that actually, she did like it.
A mobile expert she isn’t.
However she is a regular subscriber to the DailyCandy newsletters and sent today’s over to me. They track cool, hip, fashionably poncy things going on around New York, London and other less important cities too 😉
She reckoned today’s feature would be of interest. She wasn’t wrong, as it’s all about using your ‘cell’ (i.e. mobile) phone abroad.
I am always interested to see how ‘normal people’ discuss and react to mobile, so if you too would like to see how they treat it, go ahead and click on the link above.
It costs ten times as much as it does at home  when it works. And all you wanted to do was phone home. We found the best options for all travelers and all budgets (billionaire to backpacker).
