Communicate in roaming - is the pain of travelers. During a phone call home, you can spend as much money as the house would be enough for a week of conversations. If you are looking for a way to save on communication, certainly viewing different options from the mobile operators. But there is a better way to communicate when roaming - using the free application TelMe CallBack for iOS. There is no subscription fee, but the exact price per minute you can call directly to himself. As for the tariffs, then they are much more profitable than mobile operators, even with special options.
How to use TelMe CallBack
First you download the free app for iOS 6.0 and above. It can be used on the iPhone, and the iPad, or iPod touch.
Immediately I must say that TelMe CallBack does not require additional payments such as monthly fees or connection of some kind, the VIP functions. You pay only for your calls.
Once you register in the application, your account accrued bonus 9 p., Which can be spent on testing TelMe CallBack, ie on the first ring.
In the application settings to include your phone number in international format. If you need to use another sim card, for instance, the local operator can easily change the settings in your profile, enter another number and call him.
To call using the application, you need to dial a number in the "Keys" or make it even easier - select a contact to your gadget, and press the call button.
Then you call, ask to stay on the line and connect the specified phone numbers. All that now remains only to check the quality of communication and see how much you have to be written off for the call.

saving Dimensions
I have already said that the tariffs TelMe CallBack is much more favorable than the price mobile operators. To get a clearer, let's compare the cost of calls through the app and tariffs operators.
For comparison, I chose the MTS and Beeline tariffs for international communication. Suppose I went to the US, did not connect a foreign sim card and call home, in Russia, with its numbers.
In Beeline I connect service "My Planet", to save roaming. Now outgoing calls to Russia will cost me 49 p. / Min. Tariffication is per minute.
Thus, if we call through Beeline from the United States to the Russian mobile and our conversation lasts, for example, 20 minutes, then it will have to pay 980 p. And if the call is made through TelMe CallBack, it would cost only 458 p. 40 kopecks.
Let's see what offers MTS.
When roaming in the US will be outgoing costs 149 r / min, and if you connect the option "Zero without borders." - from the second through fifth minute will spend 15 p / min. Well, 33 p. for the service, but it is a trifle.
Now let's calculate how much it will cost, say, a 20-minute conversation with the household. If you connect to the MTS option "Zero without borders" that for communication with relatives you will have to pay 2444 p, and with the application TelMe CallBack -. 128 p. 40 kopecks.
Why so? Just app magically transforms outgoing calls to members of that mobile operators billed cheaper.
If you are entering for free, you do not only pay for calls through the application.
By the way, find out how much you will save in roaming, you can not even downloading the app. Simply select your country from the Tariffs TelMe CallBack online and compare the rates and options your service provider.
How to save money on incoming
If you leave your sim card before the trip is best to switch to the tariff or tariff option by which you will be free or cheap incoming roaming. For example, the option "whole world" from Megafon, where the first day 30 minutes of incoming given to you for free.
The second option to save money on incoming - to buy a new sim card abroad. Most often included them free. It turns out that you are calling a regular phone number - the domestic or foreign sim card and you - from your smartphone or tablet, without spending a fortune on the link.
Conserve bandwidth and battery charging
So, about the economy, everything is clear, but what about the Internet traffic? The fact that the compound is not two rooms via the Internet - the call goes through the GSM-module. Internet only need to view the tariffs and other small applications options, so you can not worry about spent traffic and call quality.
As for charging, a simple application TelMe CallBack practically puts gadgets, and you do not have to look for, where to charge a smartphone in the middle of the day.
The only negative I found during testing time: the one to whom you call instead of contact will see the words "Private Number", and paranoid personality can not pick up the phone. However, you can arrange in advance so that you are guaranteed to have answered the call.
