How many roaming horror stories have you heard in your lifetime? When people back from their travels are shocked with the amount on their bills that are so difficult to refute! So how do you make sure that you get the smallest bill possible? Here are some of the tips that you can do with your international cell phone plan to minimize roaming bills: 1.) Block all incoming phone calls, especially those from international numbers, so that you will not pay twice when you receive the calls (you pay for the connection from the locale to your phone and then you pay for your roaming, too).2.) Get a local sim if you will be staying for a few weeks contacting local numbers frequently. It might be more convenient for you if you get a second phone for this local number. While these may be small steps, they can significantly reduce your roaming charges while on the go. Unless you have a different way to communicate via your mobile phone.

BlackBerry Torch 9810 Unlock Code at Its Best
Friday, January 13th, 2012The other day, I was talking with a friend of mine who had recently come back from a vacation in Jamaica. He talked about the beautiful ocean, the resort and all the stuff that I had already experienced before. The one thing he brought up was about how he had unlocked his BlackBerry Torch 9810. He explained to me exactly what he had did and I was blown away by that! He purchased a BlackBerry Torch 9810 unlock code from a website called cellfservices.com and then all he did was enter that code into his phone. After he did that to his AT&T Torch, he was able to insert a T-mobile SIM card into the phone too and have all the features functioning. That wasn’t the great part though! When he went to Jamaica, he stopped by a store called Digicel which is their local carrier and purchased a prepaid SIM card. He was able to have a local Jamaican number and he did not pay a penny in roaming fees! Something new that completely blew my mind!
