National Geographic Introduces ‘Talk Abroad’ Travel Cell Phone

Using a cell phone overseas has always been an expensive proposition, and that’s if you get service. But National Geographic, in partnership with Cellular Abroad, is about to release what it’s touting as an inexpensive solution for travelers that will work in more than 100 countries, from Aruba to Yemen: the National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone. Coming in March, the $199 GMS phone will require no contracts. Instead, it will come with 30 minutes of free outgoing calls. Users then pre-purchase time at a rate that starts at $29 for 30 minutes. Incoming calls will be free and unlimited in 65 countries. CNET, among others, has coverage.
