Im going on a cruise out of the country, how do i talk to my boyfriend for cheap?

Question

Im going to many places in europe how can i talk to my boyfriend for a good price that's easy to do? i will be on a cruise

Answer 1

my dad went out of the country for over a month... the cheapest way was by texting. Roaming charges from your cell phone provider are unbelievably expensive but if you don't want to text and want to speak to him i sigguest by a or several calling cards before you leave. if you just use your minutes your money will be wasted on long distance charges so don't bother....

Answer 2

Do you have a laptop you are going to take with you?  If you do and it has internet capability, you could subscribe to Vonage.  They will hook your home up with a router to hook up to your computer and your telephone.  But the great thing is you can take your number with you if you get a nifty little feature they provide.  Basically they give you a USB storage like card and you can plug it into any computer and make a phone call from that computer.  Vonage is cheap as heck per month, too.  I used to live overseas, so I know how important it is to call home.  Good luck on your cruise.

Answer 3

I just spent some time out of the country and I used Skype a lot. It was much cheaper than anything else. If you are not bringing a computer, load it onto a memory stick to save time when you are at an internet cafe.

Answer 4

I've been on several cruises, and it's VERY difficult to get reception.  If you call from the ship it's a minimum of 7.00 per minute!!  I'd think about getting some internet time and do instant messaging
