Cut your phone bills with mobile roaming

To cut down mobile phone costs, BackChat Mobile is offering a pre-paid mobile roaming service which, it says, avoids exorbitant roaming costs.

The company’s GlobalSIM will allow international travellers to receive calls for free in more than 50 countries.

Research by BackChat Mobile shows that if a user makes 20 minutes of calls to Australia and receives 20 minutes of calls, the bill will be $169 instead of the average international roaming cost of $695.
