Benefits of Truphone Local Anywhere

The four main benefits provided by the Truphone Local Anywhere service include:

Local calling rates in Truphone countries.
Local contact numbers in Truphone countries
Low-cost international calling
Low-cost roaming in non-Truphone countries

You can actually purchase a GSM SIM-unlocked phone and use this new SIM as your only phone service provider and not even have a standard wireless carrier account. However, you must remember that this is mainly for international travellers because it will be more expensive than a traditional US wireless carrier service if you use it for local calls.
