NextGen Day

If you’re a business professional, you probably use your iPhone for more than just keeping in touch with friends and family; in many cases, it’s your connection to the outside world. Your iPhone is literally your key to staying connected with your professional life, whether you’re keeping track of your stocks, checking your e-mail, or conducting conference calls while on your way to a business meeting. If you’re like most business professionals, however, you travel around the world to keep your company active and profitable. Many people are concerned about whether or not they will be able to use their cellphone while visiting another country, especially if they are staying for an extended period of time.

The iPhone, like most cell phones, is tied to a specific cell phone carrier; in this case, AT&T/Cingular is your provider. Many business people want the assurance that their cell phone service will not be disrupted simply because they are traveling from one country to another. Because the iPhone is supported by AT&T/Cingular, you won’t have to worry about losing service or features because it runs on the GSM network. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication, and it enables you to use your cell phone in a variety of countries. In fact, GSM is used in over a hundred countries around the world, allowing you to continue using your iPhone even if cell service is unavailable.

Many business travelers travel to Europe and Asia, and because their iPhones use GSM, they can get great service in both of these places. However, there are some precautions you should take before taking your iPhone out of the country. If you’ve ever traveled around the world and used your phone, you’ve probably been surprised by the exorbitant phone and data charges.

Because your phone number is an American phone number, any call you make within another country is treated as an international call by your carrier. If you travel overseas frequently, it is easy to rack up hundreds of dollars in fees and roaming charges. This is why you should change your calling plan if you travel overseas frequently.

AT&T/Cingular offers excellent international calling plans at a reasonable price. As a result, you can still travel around the world without worrying about roaming or international call fees. You’ll also want to make sure you have an international data plan if you use data on your iPhone, which most of you do. The worst homecoming surprise is discovering hundreds of dollars in extra charges and fees when you open your cell phone bill. However, if you plan ahead and get a new service plan that includes international cell phone use, you won’t have to worry about paying exorbitant fees.
