Roam Mobility has been offering relief to Canadians who travel frequently to the US but who don't want to get dinged by our notorious cellular roaming fees. Roam Mobility's pre-paid SIM cards, mobile hotspots and smartphones can be loaded up with talk and text credit beforehand and allow users to make calls and access data for a fraction of the price, as low as $3.00 a day for talk and text plans. Roam Mobility just announced a dual-SIM smartphone coming on December 15.
Roam Mobility launched their "Breeze" Dual-SIM Traveller's Phone, which will provide a convenient and cost-effective way for Canadians to save money on roaming charges when travelling to the United States.
The Breeze has a variety of features, including:
- Unlimited talk and text within the US and back to Canada from $3/day.
- Pay for service only when you travel.
- Receive your own US number while keeping your Canadian number on the same phone
- No contracts or monthly commitments.
- Comes with a Roam SIM card.
"The Breeze is a perfect traveller's phone that comes with customizable plans to suit the consumer's needs," says Emir Aboulhosn, Roam's Founder and Senior VP of Business Development. "This phone solves a major consumer need, as they will no longer have to worry about incurring huge roaming fees and will still have the flexibility to stay in contact with whomever they want in both Canada and the United States."
Of the 60 million inbound travellers into the United States, nearly 1/3 come from Canada. The Breeze phone provides Canadian travellers with several affordable roaming packages, including unlimited call and text within the United States and back to Canada for only $3 a day. With the convenience, price, and flexibility of their plans, Roam offers the best solution for Canadian travellers who are looking to avoid large roaming fees.
The phone will be available to purchase on Saturday, December 15th either online at http://www.roammobility.com or at store locations which can be found here: http://www.roammobility.com/where-to-buy/
Stay tuned for my Roam Mobility review early 2013 as I test the service in various US locations this Christmas season.
