Cell Phone Rentals

Rental cell phones are great for infrequent international travelers. Whether you need a phone for a family vacation or reliable phone service during an important business trip overseas; renting an international cell phone is an easy and cost effective way to stay in touch.

For a rental fee of just $0 per day you can opt to receive an international cell phone rental service that includes a GSM 900/1800 dual band cell phone, the Passport Lite Travel SIM Card and $5 of call credit.  With coverage in over 150 countries, both a US and a UK mobile number and free to receive calls in popular international destinations (such as Italy, France and the UK), this International Cell Phone rental service is perfect for your next international trip.  Alternatively upgrade to a Quad band Camera Cell Phone or a 3G Camera Phone specially suited to Japan & South Korea.  We also offer a video camera rental service.

All phone rental packages include a FREE Passport Lite SIM Card (yours to keep) which provides the following:

  • Receive a United States +1 phone number and Global +44 (United Kingdom) phone number
  • $5 USD of FREE airtime to get you started!
  • Excellent coverage in over 140 countries
  • FREE incoming calls in France, Italy, Spain and the UK  (on the Global number)

You may also add any of our local sim cards to your rental package during the reservation procedure.

Please refer to the product page for complete details.

Remote Locations

If you are traveling to a remote location where cell phone service may not be available, we recommend you consider renting a Satellite Phone which can provide wireless phone service anywhere on the planet.
