As a Travel Expense Manager we should find more practical options to reduce travel expense by controlling more manageable expenses. In current situation fuel prices & inflation has skyrocketed world wide and have made a dent in everyones travel budget. Unfortunately we have no control on air or hotel fares, in such testing times we should manage travel expenses by controlling more manageable expenses like Cell Phone Roaming etc..

Since cell phone bill is a huge expense while traveling abroad for most of the business & leisure travelers now, there are experts like: www.RebelFone.com who offer country specific sim cards, Europe SIM card, World SIM Card to travelers abroad which help them to save up to 85% on their roaming bills.

But first some background, International Cell Phones from T-Mobile and AT&T rely on the same type of network called GSM, which works well in rest of the World. Most Verizon and Sprint phones work only in the United States.

Unfortunately, International Roaming call rates runs from $1 to $7 a minute. A 20-minute call home from Russia on an AT&T cell phone will cost a cool $100. On an average any Leisure or Business traveler pays approximately $1085 to $1900 respectively as a Roaming bill for two weeks abroad. Now, most carriers offer special international plans, you pay more a month, you get slightly lower roaming rates etc.

But even they can’t match the solutions offered by RebelFone. GSM Solutions are available for 200+ Countries at 50 to 85 percent off what the big carriers would charge, with free Incoming calls. Sim Cards are sold absolutely free, no need to buy any airtime or re-load, you only pay by the end of the month for the usage you had.

To an extent with solutions like this we can compensate for the other higher travel expenses and keep the total budget still in control. :)
