One of the most important concerns for football fans like you is how to stay connected with home affordably while visiting the country for 2010 World Cup. Let’s look at some of the options available:
• Using a hotel or a pay phone.
It would certainly be convenient to connect from your hotel, but normally hotels often charge a massive mark-up and the phone expenses could be very expensive. Using pay phones in South Africa requires a minimum of 80¢ for a local call, it's worth purchasing a telephone card (used in specific pay phones) for international calls - these card pay phones are also often the only ones working.
• Using Internet
If you carry your own computer, more and more hotels, resorts, airports, cafes, and retailers are going Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), becoming "hotspots" that offer free high-speed Wi-Fi access or charge a fee for usage. And, if you are without your own computer, there are plenty of cybercafés in South Africa's urban areas.
• But what if you really need to stay in touch with home while traveling?
For those times when you just need to get in touch with someone in South Africa or back home, South Africa SIM cards offer you the benefits of using your own phone at local rates. Make sure you have the international cell phone which will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 900 compatible international cell phone. Simply replace your SIM card with a prepaid South Africa SIM card and you will be set up to make all those important phone calls and send quick messages across the world, without paying excessively high roaming costs.
So, now you can stay in touch with your family and friends while enjoying the game.
