This is the story of my medical emergency while traveling in China. On a recent business trip, I found myself in an emergency medical situation. I started out with a minor backache early in the day. This later became a full blown kidney stone attack in the middle of the night. I have a history with them so I knew that I needed treatment and that I needed it NOW.

Before leaving on my business trip, I rented a cell phone from Roberts Rent-a-Phone, “Just In Case”. When my kidney stone erupted, I was in bed and could barely move. I groped for the hotel phone but no one spoke English. They didn’t even understand the word help. Now in agonizing pain and on the verge of panic, I remembered the rental cell phone sitting on the night stand. Thank God for roberts-rent-a-phone.com. I was able to call my traveling companion and help was on the way.

With my history with kidney stones, I knew that I was in trouble. Without the cell phone I rented form Roberts help was hours away. That may have been too late. I believe that without that international cell phone, I would not be writing this article. So, “just in Case” you’re traveling abroad, be safe, rent a cell phone from roberts-rent-a-phone.com “just in Case”.

Medical emergencies aside, it is just too convenient to have this simple to use phone with you when traveling abroad. The 800 number that you can give to customers or family back home in the US is a great feature.

When planning travel in Europe or around the world many travelers overlook the cost of cell phone use abroad. As a business traveler, student abroad, or an occasional traveler, you don’t want to have to worry about staying in touch with the office, family back home, or traveling companions. Using a rental cell phone to stay in touch is convenient and cost effective. Cell phones can be used to confirm or make reservations, call home, or confirm business appointments. They also let you avoid the extraordinary international calling rates charged by hotels and pay phones.

Many travelers don’t realize that the cell phone standards and the equipment that most of us use in the USA are incompatible with the GSM (Global System for worldwide Mobile communication) 900/1800 standards used abroad. If your phone does work overseas, depending on your service, you can wind up paying expensive roaming rates plus other hidden charges like VAT taxes and mobile termination fees (some companies charge as much as fifty cents per minute). Simply put, if your cell phone is not unlocked or your phone does not work overseas, you may want to rent a phone for your travel. There are a lot of companies that rent cell phones to travelers. Be careful, almost all of these cell phone services add extra fees not included in their quoted price.

One company helps to make cellphone use more affordable, http://roberts-rent-a-phone.com .With their new lower rates Roberts Rent-A-Phone provides more affordable travel cell phone rentals at everyday rates lower than their competitions discounted rates. Also, they do not add Vat taxes, connection charges, mobile termination charges etc.

Thankfully, you can rent an international cell phone on the internet before you depart. We think this is a better option than renting a phone on arrival at your destination because local inventories tend to be depleted and phones may not be available at all times and, you won’t be able to disseminate your contact number before you depart. If you rent from one of the companies on the web, remember that not all companies include all charges in their quoted rates (be sure that you read their terms). This can result in your charges being 2 to 3 times more than the quoted minute rates. These companies also rent satellite phones for locations where cell phone coverage is limited such as, on cruises, in undeveloped regions and state parks.

Roberts Rent-A-Phone is one of the online cell phone rental companies. During their 15 years of service to the travel industry they have developed a highly regarded reputation for providing quality equipment and personal customer service.
