Hey everyone,
time for a new advice. 🙂 We all know that communication is a big part of our life. How can you keep in touch with someone?
Buy a phonecard!
It can be very expensive for you, if you take a phone call or use the mobile internet with a phonecard from your home country. Therefore I advice you to buy a prepaid card (in the new country). If you travel in a group it is useful, that all people of you buy a prepaid card from the same provider. You have a big range which provider you could choose. The most of them have a nice offer for travellers. You can book a lot of options. As an example a flat rate for any phone calls in Ireland combined with 200mb of mobile internet and 30 minutes to phone in your home country (that was the constellation that I chossed). I do not want to make any promotion, because of this I am telling you that you only need (the common run) 20€ for a month.
Be careful!
Your flat rate for any phone calls will only work in your own country! If you are living in the „Republic of Ireland“ you are not able to use your phone card in „Northern ireland“. There are both independent countrys! The same applies to people who living in „Northern Ireland“.
Use your credit sparingly! It is useful to have enough credits in the case of an emergency.
