National Geographic announced the launch of the National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone, designed specifically for the needs of the traveling public. Phone will be available March 2007."Staying in touch while overseas has proved difficult for travelers; the majority of overseas travelers have not been able to afford the security and convenience of a cell phone," said Sebastian Harrison, president, Cellular Abroad. "With expensive rates and little or no technical support, international cellular service has excluded the general public. Now, it is at their fingertips."
The idea is cool but I wonder how many people will be willing to dish out $0.90 a minute for outbound calls. But incoming calls will be free in most international markets
I guess "Hi mom, I am alive, call me back" will become a norm for global travelers. Klem.
