International cell phone rental or VOIP for 4 weeks? Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Wed, 9 Apr 2008 22:20:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm going to be studying for a Masters in Accounting in France this summer for about 4 weeks. The program is through my own school (Boston College) but we are going to Strasbourg, France, to the University of Strasbourg. We are also making weekend trips to Germany (Daimler and SMART factories), Italy, Switzerland, etc.
I've never been abroad for that length of time, so I really would like to be able to call home or receive calls from home. Is it a better idea to rent/buy an international GSM phone (I have Verizon here) or just do a VOIP service? I kind of would rather do the cell phone thing, but not if it will be absurdly expensive. I have no idea how any of this works.
Thanks for your suggestions, or any other suggestions for traveling abroad for this long. We are staying in new luxury apartments with free wireless, so at least I'll have Internet (hope my computer works there!)
