Bye-bye roaming charges

by ANNAROSA SABBADINI • April 2011

Skype (skype.com) and Truphone (truphone.com) offer free phone apps for making cheap international calls using Wi-Fi.

The Vonage Mobile app for Facebook (apps.facebook.com/vonage-talkfree) allows you to make free international calls over Wi-Fi to Facebook friends who also download the app.

    I took my brand new iPhone to Japan. Hardly used it. Cost > $500 for two weeks. A very expensive lesson.
